Frequency and clinical significance of human papilloma virus in oral cancer - A study from Kerala
The frequency of HPV16 positivity in oral cancer was low in this study with a site predilection to the oral tongue. p16INK4a expression did not correlate with HPV status. A better treatment outcome was observed in HPV-positive cancers. We also observed better treatment outcomes in patients with p16INK4A overexpression irrespective of HPV status.
