human papilloma virus and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Authors
abstract
human papillomavirus (hpv) has also been suggested as an etiology of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (scc). the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of hpv infection in esophageal sccs in our region with strict contamination control to prevent false positive results. thirty cases of esophageal squamous cell carcinomas were chosen by simple random selection in a period of two years. pcr for target sequence of hpv l1 gene was performed on nucleic acid extracted from samples by means of gp5+/gp6+ primers. all tissue samples in both case and control groups were negative for hpv-dna. although the number of cases in this study was limited, the contribution of hpv in the substantial number of esophageal sccs in our region is unlikely.

full textThe Prevalence of Human Papilloma Virus in Esopha-geal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Background: Carcinomas of esophagus, mostly squamous cell carcinomas, occur throughout the world. There are a number of suspected genetic or environmental etiologies. Human papilloma virus (HPV) is said to be a major etiology in areas with high incidence of esophageal carcinoma, while it is hardly detectable in low incidence regions. This study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of HPV in ...

Background and objective: Oral tongue Squamous Cell carcinoma (SCC) commonly involves males between the sixth to eighth decades of life. Major risk factors are tobacco usage and alcohol consumption. The increasing number of patients developing oral tongue cancer without these well-known risk factors suggests that a viral infection, such as Human Papil...

Introduction: The human papilloma virus (HPV) can play a role in the development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Our aim was to assess the prevalence of HPV DNA in SCC of the larynx. The impact of HPV infection on patient survival was also evaluated. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was performed in 44 patients with SCC of the larynx (case group), while the contro...

The incidence of anal cancer is increasing. In the UK, the incidence is estimated at approximately 1.5 per 100,000. Most of this increase is attributed to certain at-risk populations. Persons who are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive and men who have sex with men (MSM), Organ transplant recipients, women with a history of cervical cancer, human papilloma virus (HPV), or cervical intra...
