Role of human papilloma virus in oral squamous cell carcinoma: Review of literature
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of ENT - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Head and neck cancer is a major problem in our country constituting around one-third of all cancer cases in contrast to 4-5% in the developed world. The incidence of tobacco-related head and neck cancers in the western countries has declined due to decreased use of tobacco. Parallel to this decrease, there has been an increase in Human Papilloma virus (HPV) related oral cancers. In India also some attempts are made by the government to decrease the use of tobacco. However, the changing epidemiology seen there, is not seen here. We searched Pub Med database for literature published from 1985 to 2013 reporting any relationship between HPV and oral cancers to know why there is this difference in carcinogenic process.
