Abstract

Introduction: Viral diseases can have roles in oral cavity and larynx carcinoma. However, the relationship between HPV, herpetic infection and these cancers is not clear. Materials & methods: DNA of tissues from oral and larynx carcinoma was extracted and the presence of HPV, HSV-1, HSV-2, EBV, CMV and Varicella Zoster virus was detected. Results: We detected five HSV-1 in oral cavity cancer and two HSV-1 in larynx carcinoma. Also, four and two HPV-positive in oral cavity and larynx carcinoma were found, respectively. There were five HPV type 18 and one HPV type 31. None of our samples were infected with EBV, CMV, HSV-2 and Varicella Zoster virus. Conclusion: A higher prevalence of HPV and HSV-1 in cancerous tissues in comparison with normal ones was detected. © 2021 Future Medicine Ltd.
