Association between infection of virulence cagA gene Helicobacter pylori and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract: BackgroundThe aim of the study was to evaluate the presence of cagA gene Helicobacter pylori in etiopathogenesis of initiation and development of larynx squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and its predictable role as a prognostic factor.Material/MethodsThe prospective, controlled study involved a series of 75 patients (65 male, 10 female, mean age 59.1 years, range 43 to 79 years) with larynx cancer. Samples of larynx cancerous tissue, each of 10–15 mg, were obtained from fresh tissues and were used for nucleic aci… Show more

“…It may serve as an ideal tool in posttreatment surveillance in a patient with laryngeal lesion. Since laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most common malignant neoplasms of the head and neck [14] and the prognosis of early malignant disease of the larynx is favorable, it is important for otolaryngologists to have a clear understanding of the clinical features of the premalignant and early malignant changes in the larynx [15]. A majority of malignant neoplasms are of SCC in origin and have almost the same morphology in the upper aerodigestive tract including the head and neck and esophagus.…”

“…Its incidence rate is nearly 48,000 cases in the United States and over 500,000 cases worldwide each year [1,2]. The most critical carcinogenic agents for LSCC are cigarette smoke and alcohol while other exogenic and en dogenic factors are mostly promoters or carcinogens in multi plied carcinogenesis processes [3]. The larynx is an important organ required for pronunciation, breathing and swallowing and patients with LSCC have problems with these functions such as dysphonia, dysphagia and dyspnea.…”

“…UreA gene was detected in all cases of LSCC as reported by Burduk et al [34]. They explained their results as all the Polish population is nearly infected with H. pylori, whereas Grbesa et al [3] detected H. pylori ureA gene using PCR in only 26 % of LSCC patients.…”
