Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the presence of human polyomaviruses (HPyV) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) samples, particularly examining the role of these viruses alongside traditional risk factors like smoking and alcohol.
- Researchers analyzed 60 samples from different mouth and throat areas for four types of HPyV, finding a 60% positivity rate for JCPyV and low rates for MCPyV (5%) with no instances of BKPyV or TSPyV.
- The study concluded that while JCPyV is commonly present in oral cavity and oropharyngeal SCC, no strong links to patient demographics or clinical characteristics were found, except for a notable association between JCP
