## Abstract ## Background The purpose of this study was to determine the role of highβrisk human papillomavirus (HPV) in lymph node metastasis and the depth of invasion in oropharyngeal cancer. ## Methods The study included patients with 90 oral carcinomas and 66 oropharyngeal carcinomas. Highβr

Human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 is most prevalent in cenical cancers and also persists in metastases. We examined HPV 16-DNA-positive primary cancers and several lymph nodes from each of 14 patients to evaluate the use of HPV16 D N A as a diagnostic marker for the detection of early node involvement.
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to investigate the prevalence and distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV)-I6 DNA in paraffin sections of all pelvic lymph nodes removed from 14 patients with Stage Ib-cervical cancer at the time of resection of their primary tumours. The results were c
Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 DNA is frequent in invasive cervical cancers. Among 43 patients with invasive cervical cancer, HPV-16-positive tumors spread to the parametrial and pelvic lymph nodes significantly more often than did HPV-16-negative tumors ( P < 0.05). Demonstration of HPV-16 DNA
