Role of mucosal high‐risk human papillomavirus types in head and neck cancers in central India

Abstract excerpt

Mucosal high‐risk (HR) human papillomaviruses (HPV) cause a subset of head and neck cancers (HNC). The HPV‐attributable fraction of HNC varies substantially between countries. Although HNC has a very high incidence in the Indian subcontinent, information on the contribution of HPV infection is limited.
