BACKGROUND
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for a growing proportion of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCCs) among men and White individuals. Whether similar trends apply to women, non‐Whites, and non‐oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (non‐OPSCCs) is unknown.
METHODS
This is a cross‐sectional analysis combining 2 multi‐institutional case series of incident head and neck...
Background
Human papillomavirus (HPV)‐positive oropharyngeal cancer (HPV‐OPC) is distinct from HPV‐unassociated head and neck cancer. However, whether risk factors for HPV‐positive oropharyngeal and nonoropharyngeal squamous cell cancer are the same is unclear.
Methods
Incident cases of HPV‐positive head and neck cell cancer and matched non‐cancer controls were enrolled in a multi‐institutional,...
BACKGROUND
Patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)‐related oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) have improved survival when compared with those with HPV‐negative OPC. Unfortunately, the American Joint Committee on Cancer seventh edition (AJCC‐7ed) staging system does not account for the prognostic advantage observed with HPV‐positive OPC. The purpose of the current study was to validate and compare 2 recently...
BACKGROUNDA subset of patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)‐associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV‐OSCC) experience poor clinical outcomes. The authors of this report explored prognostic risk factors for overall survival (OS) and recurrence‐free survival (RFS).
METHODSPatients with incident HPV‐OSCC who received treatment at the Johns Hopkins Hospital between 1997 and 2008 and who...
For patients with tobacco-related head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), the occurrence of a second primary tumor (SPT) is an ominous development that is attributed to a field cancerization effect and portends a poor clinical outcome. The goal of this study was to determine whether patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-related index tonsillar carcinomas can also develop SPTs in the contralateral...
