Discourse about human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) on Twitter: Lessons for public health education about OPC and dental care
2022, Public Health in PracticeCitation Excerpt :A small number of tweets (12 times for Blacks, 10 times for Whites, and 2 times for Hispanics) noted and compared the risk of contracting HPV among racial and ethnic groups. With more research findings reported on the link between sexual orientation and OPC [28] and racial disparities [29,30], it will be beneficial to use widely used social media, such as Twitter and Facebook, as channels for public awareness campaigns about OPC risk factors, especially for high-risk groups [31,32]. We also need to utilize social media channels to acknowledge, understand, and reduce stigmatization faced by minorities in receiving the care needed for cancer screening and treatment.
Prevalence of oropharyngeal high-risk human papillomavirus in tumor-free tonsil tissue in adults
2021, American Journal of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Medicine and SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Slide-based ISH, used in the present study, is an easy, reliable, and repeatable method for HPV detection on paraffin-embedded tissue specimens [10]. There is currently a lack of consensus on the optimum approach to the detection of oropharyngeal HPV infections in tumor-free healthy individuals, and a literature review uncovered many different sample collection methods, such as mouth rinse [11], buccal swab [12], and tonsillectomy specimen [8] for the detection of HPV in tissue. The mouth rinse and buccal swab methods may be preferred more in clinics due to their repeatability; however, samples are collected from the oral cavity rather than oropharynx in these methods, and HPV-related head and neck cancers are known to be caused primarily in the oropharynx.
The epidemiology of oral human papillomavirus infection in healthy populations: A systematic review and meta-analysis
2018, Oral OncologyCitation Excerpt :The mean quality score was 8.28 (standard deviation = 3.1). Sixty-three of the 66 articles had adequate data for inclusion in the meta-analysis of HPV prevalence, providing a total sample size of 56,600 [19,26–87]. The meta-analysis of these studies demonstrated an overall prevalence of 7.7% (95% CI = 6.8–8.6%; Fig. A1).
