Radiographic Imaging Does Not Reliably Predict Macroscopic Extranodal Extension in Human Papilloma Virus-Associated Oropharyngeal Cancer
Conclusions: Preoperative imaging for HPV-associated OPSCC had a PPV for pENE #x3e; 2 mm of 44 –55%, based on any interruption in the capsule or invasion into the perinodal fat. The PPV is low and equipoise in treatment decision making for patients with HPV-associated OPSCC may require other imaging characteristics.ORL 2018;80:85 –95
