“…Our findings of sex incidences in our cases are consistent with reports from other countries in that laryngeal cancer is more common in males, but supraglottic disease was more prevalent in females [5,6]. Although a comparison of all of our ratios in the whole country cannot be made, since the Finish Cancer Registry does not classify different anatomical sites of laryngeal cancer, our material was otherwise found to be fully comparable with the national registry of the whole country during the time period investigated.…”

“…The incidence of this tumor varies widely in different countries, and increasing trends have been observed in many previous studies [Robin et al, 1991]. The larynx is the commonest site of malignancy in the upper part of respiratory tract and digestive tract.…”

The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma using two methods: PCR-DNA enzyme immunoassay (PCR/DEIA) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) for detection of HPV in specimens of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and to correlate the presence of HPV with the epidemiological and clinicopathological features of recurrence and survival. HPV DNA was amplified from 93 paraffin-embedded laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissue specimens by the short PCR fragment (SPF 10) primer set using PCR/DNA method. HPV detection using monoclonal anti-human papilloma virus antibodies Clone K1H8 for IHC reaction was performed on 130 specimens. HPV was identified in 35.5% of patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma using PCR/DEIA and 27.7% using IHC. There was no statistically significant association between the presence of HPV and the epidemiological and clinicopathological features and recurrence. There was no statistically significant association between the presence of HPV and overall survival nor disease specific survival. Statistically significant correlation between HPV detection using PCR/DEIA technique and IHC technique was found. The presence of HPV infection in 27.7% and 38.9% of the patients suggests a possible role in the etiology of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. The SPF(10) PCR/DEIA technique is the most accurate method for detection of HPV in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

“…In Finland, it comes second after lip cancer, accounting for approximately 1.3'YU of all new cases of cancer in males and 0.2% in females ( I ), The incidence of the disease varies widely in different countries, and increasing trends have been found in many previous studies (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8). The most important risk factors are (heavy) smoking and high alcohol consumption (2,9).…”
