Prevalencia del cáncer orofaríngeo vinculado al virus del papiloma humano.

Abstract

Introduction: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is well established as a distinct etiologic risk factor for oropharyngeal cancer. Objective: to demonstrate the prevalence of oropharyngeal cancer linked to the human papilloma virus. Materials and methods: The approach will be qualitative-quantitative and it will be carried out by means of a review of research articles, and the collection of 36 reports from patients treated at the Dr. Rubio Pathology Diagnostic Center. Analysis and discussion of results: most of the patients in the sample 72,22% were male patients and 27,78% female. Regarding the origin of the sample, 25,00% were taken from the tongue and 11,11% from the soft palate, 97,22% of the sample was taken through biopsies. The predominant results in terms of diagnosis were: 72,22% patients had Papilloma, 16,67% Carcinoma and 11,11% Condyloma. On the other hand, the prevalence genotypes were evaluated, among the low-risk ones it was found that 47,22% were of genotype 6 and 16,67% of 11. Conclusion: A prevalence of male patients was obtained, jointly, there was a higher incidence in terms of the site of origin of the sample, which was the tongue, on the other hand, the samples were taken mostly by means of biopsies Most of the patient had Papilloma as a diagnosis. Finally, the low-risk genotypes were mostly 6 and 11, while the high risk was 31.
