Oropharyngeal cancer prognosis by tumour HPV status in France: The multicentric Papillophar study
Highlights • 27% oropharyngeal cancer patients (France) were HPV+; many were also smokers. • HPV+ patients had 2-fold better progression-free survival (PFS) than HPV-negative. • Only lack of upfront surgery had an equally strong effect on PFS as HPV. • Lack of upfront surgery was especially detrimen...

Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • 27% oropharyngeal cancer patients (France) were HPV+; many were also smokers. • HPV+ patients had 2-fold better progression-free survival (PFS) than HPV-negative. • Only lack of upfront surgery had an equally strong effect on PFS as HPV. • Lack of upfront surgery was especially detrimental in HPV-negative patients. • Poorer PFS in HPV-negative may derive from more genomic damage or bulkier tumours. |
