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.

Investigating the Prevalence of Human Papilloma Virus in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Larynx and Its Correlation with Disease Prognosis

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...
