“…The findings of this study on reported risky and preventive behaviors for OPC are concerning. Indeed, smoking was declared by 30.9%, and, similarly to other studies ( 20 , 48 , 49 ), oral sex was experienced by a large majority (85.9%), with 12.1% reporting more than one oral sex partner in the previous year. These results, coupled with a low adherence to preventive measures, such as HPV vaccination (22.5%), demonstrate the potentials for expecting high incidence of OPC in women, in the absence of interventions aimed at increasing awareness on this issue.…”

IntroductionThis study explored knowledge, attitudes and behaviors toward human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) among women attending primary care services.MethodsThe cross-sectional study was conducted from September to December 2022 in adult women attending three primary care services in Italy, who were invited to complete a self-administered questionnaire.ResultsOverall, 34.7% of participants know that OPC is HPV-associated; knowledge was higher among women who had personal, familiar or friends’ experience of cancer, and who reported to often seek dental care, whereas it was lower in older women. The perception of risk of developing OPC was high for 26.4% of women and was higher in those who had experienced STD, who knew that early sexual debut is a risk factor for OPC, and who considered useful the role of dentists on the provision of information about OPC. Only 22.5% had received HPV vaccination, but 62% intended to receive it in the future. Moreover, 63.2% believe that HPV vaccination is very useful to prevent OPC and only 27% are concerned about health consequences of HPV vaccination.ConclusionThese findings indicate that women’s awareness of the role of HPV infection in the development of OPC is not satisfactory and underline the role that dentists might have in improving their patients’ awareness on HPV related OPC.

“…The progression of PVL to VC could not be associated with the traditional risk factors, and it commonly affects older females 3. The reported HPV prevalence in PVL may range from 0% to 88%, and the putative role of human papillomavirus (HPV) is still controversial 17 18. In our case, the patient was a young male, a former smoker and negative for HPV.…”

Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is a distinct progressive and multi-focal form of oral leukoplakia, not associated with the traditional risk factors (ie, tobacco and alcohol consumption). The incidence of oral squamous cell carcinoma in PVL patients is high. Here, we describe the case of a patient affected by PVL, who developed two metachronous oral verrucous carcinomas at different sites of the oral mucosa. Owing to the high risk of multiple oral squamous cell carcinoma, periodical clinical and histopathological follow-up is mandatory and should continue lifelong.

“…Several studies have demonstrated that the HPV status of OPSCC patients is associated with improved survival outcomes [ 70 , [124] , [125] , [126] ]. One of the early studies conducted by Gillison and colleagues [ 127 ] showed a remarkable finding.…”

“…In Literature it is largely assessed the positive prognostic value of HPV infection in OPSCC [ 70 , [125] , [126] , [127] ] and it is also known that OPSCC is mainly associated with HPV infection, meanwhile oral cancer is primarily associated with tobacco and alcohol [ 137 ]. For this reason, the role of HPV in oral cancer is unclear.…”
