INTRODUCTION Molecular studies about carcinomas of the oral cavity and oropharynx demonstrate the presence of human papilomavirus genome in these tumors, reinforcing the participation of human papilomavirus in oral carcinogenesis. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the prevalence of human papilomavirus and genotype distribution of HPV16 and HPV18 in oral cavity and oropharynx carcinomas...

Ung thư vòm họng là một trong những loại ung phổ biến có tỉ lệ tử vong cao ở Việt Nam (3,3/ 100 000 dân). Sự lây nhiễm của human papillomavirus (HPV) đã được chứng minh yếu tố nguy cơ gây nên hình này. Để xác định vai trò HPV đối với họng, chúng tôi thực hiện nghiên cứu này nhằm sàng lọc các chủng liên quan tới bằng kỹ thuật Nested - PCR và phương pháp giải trình tự gen Sanger. 15/99 mẫu bệnh p...
