Oral HPV detection and genotyping by next-generation sequencing in a healthy Palestinian cohort: pilot study.

Abstract excerpt

Oral human papillomavirus (HPV) is a key contributor to oropharyngeal cancers. Yet, its prevalence and genotype distribution in healthy populations remain largely undocumented, particularly in Palestine, where no national screening or vaccination programs currently exist. This study is the first in Palestine to detect and genotype oral HPV in a healthy population using a highly sensitive molecular workflow. The...
