abstract

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 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (escc) cases diagnosed in pathology department, medical school, shiraz university of medical sciences. methods: dna material for pcr amplification of hpv genome was extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue blocks of 92 cases of escc, diagnosed during 20 years from 1982 to 2002. polymerase chain reaction was performed for amplification and detection of common hpv and type specific hpv-16 and hpv-18 genomic sequences in the presence of positive control (hpv-18 and hpv positive biopsies of uterine exocervix) and additional internal controls i.e. beta-globin and cytotoxic t lymphocyte antigen 4 (ctla4). result: good amplification of positive control and internal controls was observed. however, no amplification of hpv genome was observed. conclusion: there is no association between hpv infection and the development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in the cases evaluated.

The Prevalence of Human Papilloma Virus in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Oral Tongue

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...

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...

human papilloma virus and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

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 y...

Human Papilloma Virus and Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Anus

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...
