Current Evidence and Future Directions in the Surveillance of HPV-Positive Oropharyngeal Carcinoma

Key Points

Disease recurrence remains a concern in patients with HPV+ oropharyngeal carcinoma, impacting long-term outcomes.
Patients with HPV+ OPSCC typically have a better prognosis compared to their HPV- counterparts, yet monitoring is vital.
Enhanced surveillance methods can significantly improve early detection of recurrences in HPV+ OPSCC patients.
Future approaches must focus on optimizing surveillance protocols to address the specific needs of HPV+ OPSCC patients.

Abstract

Introduction Human papilloma virus positive (HPV+) OPSCC has a favorable prognosis compared to its HPV- carcinomas but a significant proportion of patients will experience disease recurrence and death. Enhancement of surveillance strategies after treatment for primary HPV + OPSCC is of great importance.
