Abstract

Currently, staging of head neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is on the basis of primary tumor extension (cT), lymph node involvement (cN) and distant metastasis (cM). The aim of cancer staging was to improve diagnosis, prognosis and to compare outcome results. A new subgroup of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) induced by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is reported to show an increasing incidence. These HPV-positive OPSCC show distinct molecular differences, specific p16 overexpression and a significantly better prognosis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic influence of p16 expression in OPSCC and compare its relevance with the established prognostic markers cT and cN classification and the clinical stages I-IV.
