Human papillomavirus DNA and TP53 mutations in lung cancers from butchers.

Abstract excerpt

To investigate whether the high frequency of human papillomavirus infection in butchers may be linked to their higher than average incidence of lung cancer, we have examined lung cancers from 40 butchers and 26 controls for the presence of DNA from both HPV type 7, which is found almost uniquely in hand warts from butchers and fishermen, and for those HPV types associated with laryngeal and genital cancers.
