BACKGROUND
Indicators of poor oral health, including smoking, have been associated with increased risk of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, especially oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), yet few studies have examined whether this association is modified by human papillomavirus (HPV) status.
METHODS
Data from interviews and tumor HPV status from a large population‐based case‐control...
BACKGROUND
To the authors' knowledge, the patterns of care for the radiotherapy‐based treatment of patients with stage III to IVB oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) are poorly defined. The objective of the current study was to characterize the use and predictors of chemotherapy with radiotherapy for this population using the National Cancer Database.
METHODS
Patients in the National...
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...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes greater than 5% of cancers worldwide, including all cervical cancers and an alarmingly increasing proportion of oropharyngeal cancers (OPCs). Despite markedly reduced cervical cancer incidence in industrialized nations with organized screening programs, cervical cancer remains the second most common cause of death from cancer in women worldwide, as developing countries...
BACKGROUND
Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) has been associated with improved long‐term dysphagia symptomatology compared with chemoradiation. Dysphagia in the perioperative period has been inadequately characterized. The objective of this study was to characterize short‐term swallowing outcomes after TORS for OPSCC.
METHODS
Patients undergoing...
BACKGROUND
Because of the current epidemic of human papillomavirus (HPV)–related oropharyngeal cancer (OPC), a screening strategy is urgently needed. The presence of serum antibodies to HPV‐16 early (E) antigens is associated with an increased risk for OPC. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of antibodies to a panel of HPV‐16 E antigens in screening for OPC.
