S276 Reduced Prognostic Impact of Nodal Status in Hpv-associated Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
In Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma, nodal metastasis generally has a negative impact on prognosis. Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)-associated oropharyngeal SCC (OPSCC) has been shown repeatedly to confer better prognoses than HPV-negative oropharyngeal SCC, despite a high frequency of nodal metastases. We hypothesized that nodal metastasis has a reduced impact on survival in HPVpositive OPSCC than it does in HPV-negative OPSCC.

Correlation of PET-CT nodal SUVmax with p16 positivity in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma
BACKGROUND The incidence of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) has been rising in recent years. Given the clinical impact of HPV/p16 positivity in OPSCC, identifying surrogate markers of this disease early in the diagnostic work-up of these patients could improve patient care. METHODS Demographic, pathologic, staging and PET-CT data from patients ...
متن کاملHuman papillomavirus and survival of patients with oropharyngeal cancer.
BACKGROUND Oropharyngeal squamous-cell carcinomas caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) are associated with favorable survival, but the independent prognostic significance of tumor HPV status remains unknown. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of the association between tumor HPV status and survival among patients with stage III or IV oropharyngeal squamous-cell carcinoma who were e...
متن کاملImpact of tumor HPV status on outcome in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck receiving chemotherapy with or without cetuximab: retrospective analysis of the phase III EXTREME trial
BACKGROUND Tumor human papillomavirus (HPV) status is an important prognostic factor in locoregionally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). Prognostic value in recurrent and/or metastatic (R/M) disease remains to be confirmed. This retrospective analysis of the EXTREME trial, comparing chemotherapy plus cetuximab with chemotherapy first line in R/M SCCHN, investigated ...
متن کاملThe prognostic impact of human papillomavirus status following treatment failure in oropharyngeal cancer
INTRODUCTION Despite the human papillomavirus conferring a better prognosis in the primary treatment setting, the prognostic impact of viral status after treatment failure in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma patients is poorly understood. METHODS We retrospectively identified 33 oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPC) patients with local and/or distant disease recurrence post-treatme...
متن کاملHigh Level of Tregs Is a Positive Prognostic Marker in Patients with HPV-Positive Oral and Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinomas
BACKGROUND Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) have been proved as one of the etiological factors of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). Patients with tumors of viral etiology have a lower recurrence rate and better prognosis. OPSCC is linked to an alteration in the immune system. Only a limited number of studies have correlated both the immunological parameters and HPV status with patient...
