Abstract:
Objective To explore the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx.Methods A cohort of 152 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) patients,40 premalignant lesions of the larynx,and 40 vocal fold polyp patients was evaluated for the expression of HPV16 E7 protein by immunohistochemistry (IHC).E7 protein expression was correlated with clinicopathological features and outcomes.Results The expression of E7 protein in vocal fold polyp was negative,and it's positive expression in precancerous lesions and laryngeaI carcinomas was 2.5%,and 32.9%,respectively.There were no other significant clinical or demographic differences between pl6-positive and-negative cases.There was no difference in overall survival (OS) between E7-positive and-negative patients with 5-year survival of 79% and 66% for p16 positive and negative patients,respectively (P =0.581).There was no statistically significant difference in failure-free survival (FFS) with 5-year FFS of 57.8% and 42.3% for p16 positive and negative patients,respectively (P =0.579).Conclusions E7 expression is infrequent in laryngeal carcinomas.There are no statistically significant correlations between E7 IHC status and OS or FFS.
