摘要

2021 SEP 21 (NewsRx) - By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Disease Prevention Daily - Current study results on DNA Viruses - Human Papillomavirus 18 have been published. According to news reporting originating from Jiangsu, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "The relationship between human papillomavirus (HPV) and esophageal cancer (EC) has been controversial, which may be caused by the difference in geographic regions of sample origin. Thus, we conducted a case-control study to find that HPV increased the risk of esophageal cancer, and the HPV18 detection rate is the highest (24.2%) among patients with EC, suggesting that HPV18 could be the most risk subtype of HPV infected." Funders for this research include National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), Scientific Research Foundation of Graduate School of Southeast University.
