β¦ Synopsis
BACKGROUND.
Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) commonly cause proliferative lesions of squamous epithelia, and infection with certain HPV types carries a high risk of malignant transformation, especially in the uterine cervix but also at other sites, including the esophagus. We used molecular techniques to detect and type HPV in an in situ squamous cell carcinoma in the esophagus of a 39-year-old woman.

Recent studies have suggested that esophageal HPV infection could be a risk factor for esophageal squatnous-cell carcinoma. The aims of our study were to assess the presence of HPV esophageal infection among French patients with esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma and to compare the prevalence of thi
## Abstract Certain regions of China have high rates of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Previous studies of human papillomavirus (HPV), a proposed causal factor, have produced highly variable results. We attempted to evaluate HPV and ESCC more definitively using extreme care to prevent D
