摘要

这篇评论强调了最近发表在《口腔肿瘤学》上的一项研究，该研究调查了巴西头颈部鳞状细胞癌（HNSCC）患者中丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）感染的患病率。这项由国家癌症研究所（INCA）进行的研究显示，HCV在HNSCC患者中的患病率明显较高，并可能与第二原发肿瘤的风险增加有关。这些发现强调了有针对性的筛查和早期干预策略的必要性，特别是在高危人群中。该研究为HCV在肝外恶性肿瘤中的作用及其对临床实践和公共卫生的影响提供了重要见解。

Letter to the Editor: HCV infection in head and neck cancer patients: Implications for screening and prognosis in a low prevalence setting

This commentary highlights a recent study published in Oral Oncology examining the prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in Brazil. The study, conducted at the National Cancer Institute (INCA), revealed a notably higher prevalence of HCV in HNSCC patients and a potential link to increased risk of second primary tumors. These findings underscore the need for targeted screening and early intervention strategies, particularly among high-risk groups. The study offers important insights into the role of HCV in extrahepatic malignancies and its implications for clinical practice and public health.
