Prevalence and Impact of Human Papillomavirus on Head and Neck Cancers: Review of Indian Studies

Authors: Deepa Nair, Manish Mair, Arjun Singh, Anil D’Cruz

Published in: Indian Journal of Surgical Oncology | Issue 4/2018

Abstract

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is an important emerging etiology for head and neck cancers (HNCs) worldwide. Considering its impact on prognosis, it is important to understand the true prevalence of HPV-associated HNCs in India. This article reviews the prevalence of HPV-related HNCs across various studies in India where the population is predominantly tobacco users, and studies its outcomes with respect to HPV.
