Recurrences and Survival in Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma According to p16 Status and Extranodal Extension
Key Points
This research examines how p16 status and extranodal extension affect prognosis in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC).
Analyzed the relationship between p16 status and prognosis in OPSCC.
Evaluated the effect of extranodal extension on survival outcomes based on HPV status.
HPV status alters the prognostic implications of extranodal extension in OPSCC.
Findings suggest distinct survival patterns depending on p16 and HPV status.
Abstract
The prognostic role of pENE in OPSCC appears to differ by HPV status. These findings underline the importance of considering HPV status when interpreting the prognostic significance of pENE.
