Abstract
Cervical cancer is initiated by infection with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs). It has been suggested that the link between HPV and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is specific to carcinoma of the tonsil. We systematically summarize HPV infection, carcinogenic mechanisms and detection of HPV in head and neck cancer. It will be necessary to develop preventive and therapeutic strategies aimed at reducing the incidence and mortality of HPV-associated cancers.
