Objective: To evaluate the putative role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the aetiology of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in Belgium.
Methods: The frequency of HPV infection was determined using HPV DNA PCRamplification with L1 consensus primers MY09-MY11, able to recognise about 40 different HPV types, on twenty-one formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded oesophageal squamous cells carcinomas. Nineteen samples of histologically normal epithelium from the surgical margins of the OSCC specimens and five samples from normal oesophagus obtained at autopsy served as negative controls.
Results: We found only one HPV positive tumour (4.8%) out of the 21 OSCC cases. All the normal epithelium controls remained negative.
Conclusions: Our data are in agreement with those previously published, suggesting that HPV infection only plays a minor role in the pathogenesis of oesophageal squamous cells carcinoma in West-European countries.
目的:探讨人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)在比利时食管鳞状细胞癌(OSCC)发病中的作用。方法:采用L1一致引物MY09-MY11对21例福尔马林固定和石蜡包埋的食管鳞状细胞癌进行HPV DNA pcr扩增,检测HPV感染的频率,该引物可识别约40种不同的HPV类型。19例OSCC手术边缘组织学正常的上皮样本和5例尸检中正常食管样本作为阴性对照。结果:21例OSCC中仅发现1例HPV阳性肿瘤(4.8%)。所有正常上皮对照均为阴性。结论:我们的数据与先前发表的数据一致,提示HPV感染在西欧国家食管鳞状细胞癌的发病机制中仅起次要作用。

Surveillance for early detection of hepatocarcinoma (HCC) in patients with cirrhosis is widely accepted. In a cohort of 141 patients with cirrhosis collected during the year 1995, we conducted a surveillance program by performing liver ultrasonography and blood alpha-foetoprotein measurement every 6 months. The median follow-up was 34 months. This study addressed to two questions: the compliance to the surveillance schedule according to the aetiology of cirrhosis and the results in terms of emergence of HCC and outcome. Aetiology of cirrhosis was alcohol-induced in 86 (61%), HCV-related in 30 (21%) and from other origins in 25 (18%). Compliance to the program schedule was good in patients with HCV-related cirrhosis (29/30--97%) and patients with cirrhosis of "other origins" (20/25--80%) but was poor in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis (45/86--52%). The lack of compliance was significantly linked to the failure to achieve alcohol abstinence. During follow-up, 6 HCC lesions were observed in 6 male patients with median age of 68 years. All 6 HCC were single nodule, less than 4 cm and accessible to percutaneous acetic acid injection. Nevertheless, the outcome was disappointing, four patients dying 3-15 months later (median: 8 months), two of them with extensive HCC. One of the two patients still alive developed extensive HCC, 36 months after percutaneous acetic acid injection.
