Infrequent detection of human papillomavirus infection in head and neck cancers in the Central African Republic: a retrospective study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Nasopharyngeal carcinomas (NPC) are consistently associated with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Though NPCs are more radiosensitive and chemosensitive than other tumors of the upper aero-digestive tract, many therapeutic challenges remain. In a previous report, we have presented data supporting a possible the...
