Burden of High-Risk Human Papillomavirus 16- and 18-Associated Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma in the Indian Population: A Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction Study
The present study establishes the existence of a subset of patients within the Indian subpopulation that harbor the oncogenic strains of HPV. This contributes to the global pool of data and reinforces the need for future research to delve into the role of prophylactic vaccination targeting oncogenic HPV.
