abstract

background: fanconi anemia (fa) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital malformations, bone marrow failure, development of squamous cell carcinoma (scc), and other cancers. human papillomavirus (hpv) in the oral cavity or oropharynx has been associated with an increased risk of laryngeal papillomatosis, invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (hnscc) and cervical and other genital cancers. the prevalence of hpv dna in the oral cavity/oropharynx in fa patients and controls was compared. materials and methods: a risk factor questionnaire and oral exfoliated cells were collected from fa patients. the study group consisted of 22 fa patients with hnscc (case subjects) and 24 patients with hnscc without fa (control subjects). hpv dna was detected using polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and specific primers that covered high risk types of hpv. moreover, special serological assays were used for the detection of specific antibodies against hpv in patient’s sera. results: hpv dna was detected in 82% of the scc specimens from the case subjects which was statistically higher (p< 0.05) than the scc specimens from the control subjects (62.5%). in all cases, the presence of hpv antibodies in patient’s sera has been shown. among the case subject specimens, 14 cases, and in the control subjects, 11 cases were infected by high risk hpv (hr-hpv). conclusion: these data confirm that hpv infection, especially with high risk types (16,18), could be one of several risk factors for hnscc particularly in fa patients.

Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Fanconi Anemia Patients

Head and neck cancers are among the most common tumors to develop in patients with Fanconi anemia.1,2 Although these tumors are histopathologically similar to those in patients without FA, the frequency, distribution, and clinical course are significantly different and must be taken into account when considering cancer management in patients with FA (Table 1). This chapter provides an overview ...

Human papillomavirus detection in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck (HNSCC) are a frequent diagnosis in anatomic pathology practice. Tobacco use and heavy alcohol consumption are known risk factors for HNSCC but in other cases human papillomavirus (HPV) is linked to carcinogenesis. HPV proteins E6 and E7 promote oncogenesis by blocking the action of p53 and pRB, respectively. An absence of p53 mutations in addition ...

High incidence of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in patients with Fanconi anemia.

BACKGROUND Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a high degree of genomic instability and predisposition to cancer development. Recent evidence suggests that the incidence of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) may be increased in patients with FA. OBJECTIVE To determine the cumulative incidence, tumor distribution, and outcome of HNSCC in patie...

Association of Some High-Risk Mucosal Types of Human Papillomavirus with Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma in an Iranian Population

Background & Objective: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common non-melanoma skin cancer that may be caused by Human papillomavirus (HPV), especially in immunosuppressed patients. However, the role of the mucosal types of HPV in SCC patients with normal immunity has not been extensively confirmed. The aim of this study was to investigate the association...

Detection of Human Papillomavirus in Osophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma samples in Mazandaran Province, Iran

We examined 170 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients. All subjects live in Mazandaran province, a region with high incidence rate of esophageal cancer and have become known as the “Asian Esophageal Cancer Belt”. Samples were tested for HPV-DNA by MY09/11 and Gp5+/6+ general primers using nested PCR. Of the 170 ESCC samples, 86 (50.6%) were ma...
