The role of high-risk human papillomavirus infection in oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma in non-smoking and non-drinking patients: a clinicopathological and molecular study of 46 cases

Abstract: The aim of the study was to investigate the role of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection in the etiopathogenesis of oral (OSCC) and oropharyngeal (OPSCC) squamous cell carcinoma in non-smoking and non-drinking patients (NSNDP). Twenty-four OSCCs and 22 OPSCCs were analyzed by immunohistochemistry for p16(INK4a) protein (p16) expression and by chromogene in situ hybridization (CISH) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for HR-HPV DNA presence. The series included 23 males and 23 females aged 35-93 y… Show more

“…Previous studies reported that the rate of HPV positivity is higher in OPSCC, especially tonsil cancer, than in OSCC [7]. Our result is consistent with these previous results: about 30 % of OPSCC patients showed HPV positivity, in contrast to 3 % of OSCC patients.…”

“…Most publications correlating p16 expression with HPV status study mixed groups of cancers from different anatomic sites [61,81,93]. These studies are not powered to determine the sensitivity and specificity of p16 overexpression as a surrogate biomarker for HPV-mediated oral cavity carcinogenesis.…”

“…Brown staining of tumor cell nuclei and/or cytoplasm was interpreted as positive. The p16 immunostaining was scored according to criteria set out in our previous studies [10,13] as follows: (0) absent, (+) 1-5% tumor cells stained, (++) 6-20% tumor cells stained, (+++) 21-50% tumor cells stained, and (++++) 51-100% tumor cells stained.…”

“…As a continuation of our previous study on the role of HPV in the etiopathogenesis of HNSCCs in nonsmokers [10], we included a group of smokers and also expanded the spectrum of evaluated clinicopathological parameters. The aim of the current study was to compare (i) nonsmokers to smokers, (ii) OSCCs to OPSCCs, and most importantly, (iii) HPV-positive to HPV-negative SCCs.…”
