Current trends in the etiology and diagnosis of HPV‐related head and neck cancers

Abstract: Human papilloma virus (HPV) infection is a major risk factor for a distinct subset of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The current review summarizes the epidemiology of HNSCC and the disease burden, the infectious cycle of HPV, the roles of viral oncoproteins, E6 and E7, and the downstream cellular events that lead to malignant transformation. Current techniques for the clinical diagnosis of HPV-associated HNSCC will also be discussed, that is, the detection of HPV DNA, RNA, and the HPV surrogate… Show more

“…39,41,42 Third, human papilloma virus (HPV) infection is major risk factor for HNSCC, and patients with HPVpositive HNSCC have a better prognosis and response to therapy than patients with HPV-negative HNSCC. 43 However, we only had the HPV status of 7 patients in this study, so we could not evaluate the correlation between imaging findings or clinical outcome and HPV status. Further studies with correlation between tumor response and HPV status in HNSCC would be needed.…”

“…Over the last three decades, the high-risk HPV genotypes (hrHPV) have been confirmed as the major etiologic factor of the subset of oropharyngeal SCC, dominating in the western part of the world [14,15]. The significance of hrHPV infection in the development of tumours in oral cavity, hypopharynx and larynx needs to be additionally elucidated [1,2,[16][17][18].…”

“…HPV status may provide prognostic information and in future, it may also guide specific treatment decisions [17,19]. However, a standardized procedure for HPV testing remains to be established [6,9,38]. The HPV protein E7 leads to pRb degradation which in turn overexpresses p16.…”
