BackgroundThe association between viral infections and colorectal cancer (CRC) remains an enigma in cancer research. Certain types of Human Papillomaviruses (hr-HPVs), known for their oncogenic properties, have been observed in particular CRC biopsies, further adding to the enigma surrounding this association.Materials and methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 40 confirmed cases of CRC adenocarcinoma. The presence and genotyping of HPV DNA in colorectal fresh tissue and urine samples was assessed using an HPV DNA hybridization kit. A subset of serum samples from both CRC cases and healthy volunteers was randomly chosen and subjected to western blot to investigate the presence of HPV16 E6/E7 oncoproteins carried by exosomes.ResultsIt was observed that 26/40 HPV-positive CRC patients demonstrated 7 times more chance to develop colorectal cancer when compared to those 8/40 normal tissue (odds ratio [OR] = 7.4; confidence interval [CI] 95% = 0.483156–0.793718; p |
