| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is suggested that human papillomavirus (HPV) cause oral squamous cell carcinoma and other diseases in oral cavity. There are many unclear points in the HPV infection. It is necessary to study the mechanism of the infection in oral cavity, the infection rate, the type of infected HPV, etc. In Japan, information of HPV is spreading to women, particularly HPV vaccines for the prevention of cervical cancer. But, prevention of oral cancer and oropharyngeal cancer etc. is needed for men, too.
We went to Mongolia, and after giving informed consent, we had taken oral mucosa samples, from approximately 1,390 persons. Additionally, we had taken the information of diseases in oral cavity confirmed by dentist, and the data of lifestyle including drinking and smoking, hygiene of oral cavity. We are analyzing these samples using the high-sensitivity methods we improved, and investigating with epidemiological data, integratedly.
