“…Despite the importance of laryngeal cancer, the result of previous studies on the role of EBV in this entity is controversial and has not yet been studied in Iran. 6,7,13 In the present study, the incidence of EBV in specimens of benign and malignant lesions of the larynx was investigated by RT-PCR. Also, the effects of EBV on pathological and clinical features of the patients with laryngeal SCC were investigated.…”

Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate the presence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) as a risk factor in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and its effects on the pathological and clinical features of this disease. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 55 patients with histologically confirmed laryngeal SCC in the pathology department of Shafa and Afzalipour hospital, Kerman, Iran, referred to the radiation oncology department between January 2018 and May 2019 (study group). Thirty-five patients who underwent surgery for benign laryngeal lesions such as polyps, nodules, cysts, or granulomas were considered as the control group. Biopsy specimens of all subjects were examined for the presence of EBV DNA by Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). Demographic and clinicopathological characteristics of all patients were recorded and patients with laryngeal SCC were followed up regarding relapse. The data were analyzed using SPSS-17 software and descriptive and analytical statistics were done. Results:The incidence of EBV infection in patients with laryngeal SCC was 32.7% (95% CI: 5/45 -21/8) and this amount was 2.9% (95% CI: 0 -8.6) in the control group. Based on multivariate logistic regression model, age (
