Article Synopsis
- - Oral cancer (OC) is highly prevalent among Pakistani males and ranks second in females, with major risk factors being chewing habits and HPV infections.
- - A study analyzed 186 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) samples for high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) types 16 and 18 and examined their relationship with p16 protein expression and chewing habits.
- - Results showed only 3.8% of cases tested positive for HR-HPV, with no significant links found between HR-HPV, p16 expression, and specific chewing habits, indicating that HR-HPV may be a less relevant risk factor for OSCC in this population.
