Author: P. Stanko, P. Kruzliak, P. Labas

Abstract: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and especially oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma is a very significant cause of morbidity and mortality. The majors risk factors of these tumors are tobacco smoking, chewing and alcohol consumption. But there is a group, non-drinking and non-smoking, patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. In these patients may be oral-genital contact and human papillomavirus infection the major risk factor for oral carcinogenesis. Aim of this review is to point out this fact in correlation with clinical studies and clinical conclusion for medical practice (Fig. 1, Ref. 32).

Keywords: head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, human papilloma virus infection, oral-genital contact, ethiopathogenesis.
