p16+ HPV-

Any anecdotal or real data that would suggest improved outcomes for p16+ versus p16- tumors when PCR testing for HPV is negative for head and neck? Got a guy with laryngeal surface epiglottis primary (doesn't appear to be oropharyngeal) and p16 was ordered which came back positive but my understanding is this is meaningless and I'm still wondering if radiation is still a better prognosis in this subset since the G1 chekpoint is liley not working.
