Utility of PET-CT in Newly Diagnosed HPV-Associated Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

CONCLUSION: In uncomplicated HPV-associated OPSCC, CT offers equivalent diagnostic accuracy to that of combined whole-body PET-CT for clinical staging, and has no appreciable impact on treatment selection. A reduced reliance on routine PET-CT during initial workup of HPV-associated OPSCC may be favorable for otherwise healthy patients with clinically evident sites of primary disease.PMID:36453776 | DOI:10.1177/00034894221135934
