Article Synopsis
- HPV has been linked to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), with type 16 identified as a key carcinogenic strain; its presence in saliva may aid in early diagnosis.
- The study involved 30 OSCC patients, confirming HPV 16 through saliva and tissue samples analyzed by PCR, showing a high positivity rate in both.
- Results indicated that while HPV 16 detection was lower in saliva compared to tissue, saliva remains a valuable non-invasive diagnostic tool for identifying HPV 16 in OSCC cases.
