ABSTRACT
It was relevant to assess the impact of a HPV-16 [human papillomavirus-16] which is a high-risk genotype on head and neck cancers and its relation to CIAP-2 expression [Cellular Inhibitor of apoptosis-2]. Tissue samples were taken from patients diagnosed as head and neck cancer. All samples were subjected to qualitative polymerase chain reaction [PCR] analysis for HPV, qualitative and semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction [RT-PCR] of CIAP-2. There was a significant association between HPV-16 and CIAP2 positivity and head and neck tumors. CIAP-2 expression in malignant tissues was highly associated with HPV-16 infection at sensitivity 73.9% and absolute specificity
