Description
720 patients with stage III/IV oropharyngeal cancer were retrospectively analyzed for p16 and HPV status. p16 and HPV-positivity correlated well and both showed improved overall-survival compared to patients with HPV-negative/p16 negative tumors. HPV/p16 status was shown to be a strong and independent risk factor in oropharyngeal carcinoma.
