The present study was conducted to explore the association between HPV 16-E6 protein and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>SP immunohistochemical method was used to examine the expression of HPV 16-E6 in 50 cases of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, 10 cases of normal esophageal squamous cell and 10 cases of adjacent tissue.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The expression of HPV 16-E6 was significantly higher in esophageal carcinoma than in normal esophageal mucosa and in adjacent tissue. The expressions of HPV 16-E6 had significant correlation with invasive depth (P&lt;0.05), but not with patient age, lymph node metastasis, tumor size (P&gt;0.05).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>HPV 16-E6 can promote the growth and metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and can be a prognostic factor of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.</p><p>JCMS Nepal 2014; 10(4):1-5</p><p> </p> ER -
