Double Positivity for HPV DNA/P16(INK4a) Does Not Influence Survival of Patients With Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

CONCLUSION: In contrast to oropharyngeal cancer, the prevalence of HPV in OSCC is low and the presence of HPV does not influence survival outcomes. Hence, there is no evidence to support a parallel transfer of therapy regimen for HPV-positive OPC to OSCC, in terms of therapy de-escalation and/or vaccination.PMID:34732426 | DOI:10.21873/anticanres.15369
