Smoking and papillomavirus DNA in patients with p16‐positive N3 oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract: Background We investigated the survival of patients with a p16‐positive N3 oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) and the prognostic significance of patient, tumor, and treatment characteristics. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the data of patients treated at our Cancer Center for a p16‐positive N3 OPSCC between 2003 and 2016. End points were overall survival (OS) and progression‐free survival (PFS). Results A total of 29 patients were included. The 5‐year OS and PFS were 67.5% and 59.1%, respective… Show more

“…9 For patients who had a history of >10 pack years of smoking, Gorphe et al similarly found a negative impact on OS (HR, 6.376; 95% CI, 1.33-30.51; P = .02). 10 However, Kumar did not find a significant increase in the OS HR for the 10–pack year smoking threshold. 11 In addition, Sinha did not find that smoking in the surgically managed population significantly affected DSS.…”

“…Drinking and smoking are considered serious risk factors in oropharyngeal carcinogenesis [2][3][4]. However, in recent decades, another important etiological factor for oropharynx squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCC) has been discovered: human papillomavirus (HPV).…”
