Human Papillomaviruses Are Identified in a Subgroup of Sinonasal Squamous Cell Carcinomas With Favorable Outcome.

The article presents a study regarding the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) on sinonasal tract squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) pathogenesis and its impact on clinicopathology in Barcelona, Spain. The study evaluates the SCC patients diagnosed at the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona from 1981 to 2006 to determine the HPV infection and its polymerase chain reaction.
