Co-infection of human papillomavirus genotypes and Epstein-Barr virus in tumors of the oral cavity and oropharynx: a retrospective study in Northeastern Mexico
Our results reveal a higher prevalence of HPV infection in OC compared with OPC, with HPV-16 being the predominant genotype. HPV-positive cases were predominantly found in older male patients. Thus, expanding HPV vaccination to broader populations could potentially impact cancer incidence. EBV co-infection with HPV was infrequent, and further research is needed to fully understand the role of these viruses in OC and OPC development.
