Sažetak

We present a retrospective research of HPV testing of tissue samples, by the polymerase chain reaction method (PCR), in patients that underwent surgery due to squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, oropharynx or larynx in Zadar General Hospital in the period from 2007 to 2016.
Out of 99 patients included in this study, 89 (89,9%) were men with median age of 62.3 years and ten (10,1 %) were women with median age of 66 years. According to the cancer site, the percentage of HPV positive carcinoma tissue samples of larynx carcinoma, oral cavity carcinoma and oropharyngeal carcinoma were 25.8%, 26.9% and 18,2 %, respectively. According to the HPV genotype, among all cancer sites, in 60% (n=15) HPV 16 were detected, and in 40% mixed HPV infection, that is, in 32% (n=8) HPV 16, 26, 34, 53 and in 8% (n=2) HPV 16, 18, 26, 34, 53.
The presented research results support the need for stronger public health promotion of vaccines against HPV, and the selection of the best strategy for the implementation of vaccination to prevent cancer of the larynx, oropharynx and oral cavity among men.
