Abstract:
Epidemiological data and results of molecular studies suggest that human papillomavirus has been considered a risk factor in upper respiratory tract cancers. 10 out of 23 studied cases of laryngeal carcinoma revealed presence of HPV DNA (43.5%). The PCR and Hybrid Capture II test were used for the detection of viral DNA.
