| dc.description.abstract | Human 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. Electronic
