Asociacion entre infección por HPV y CA oral

1) Human papillomavirus as a risk factor for oral squamous cell carcinoma: a meta-analysis, 1982-1997.

This meta-analysis indicates that HPV is detected with increased frequency in oral dysplastic and carcinomatous epithelium in comparison with normal oral mucosa. The findings provide further quantitative evidence that oral infection with HPV, particularly with high-risk genotypes, is a significant independent risk factor for OSCC(oral squamous cell carcinoma).

2) Human papillomavirus expression in oral mucosa, premalignant conditions, and squamous cell carcinoma: a retrospective review of the literature.

High-risk human papillomavirus genotypes have a significant association with oral squamous cell carcinoma. However, the presence of this virus in a high proportion of oral normal mucosa makes the virus alone a poor prognosticator of progression to malignancy.
