dc.description.abstractHuman papillomavirus (HPV) is an established risk factor for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, regardless of a history of other known risk factors such as alcohol and tobacco. While cases of HPV-related oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) are increasing in the USA, Europe and South Central Asian countries, little is known about the impact of the disease on the African continent. s We describe a protocol for a systematic review to synthesise the best current evidence to assess the disease burden in Africa.
