Oropharyngeal Cancer
Gene Signature Predicts Outcomes in HPV-Related Oropharyngeal Cancers
HPV gene signature was associated with outcomes in patients with HPV-related oropharyngeal cancers and could become a prognostic biomarker.
As HPV-Related Cancer Rates Climb, Experts Scrutinize Barriers to HPV Vaccination
Oropharyngeal cancers have become the most common HPV-associated malignancies in the US, where the rate of vaccination against HPV lags compared with other countries.
Phase 1b/2 Study of DPX-E7 + Cyclophosphamide in HPV-positive Cancers
Researchers are evaluating whether DPX-E7 vaccination is safe and will improve outcomes among patients with HPV-positive head and neck, cervical, or anal cancer.
Phase 2 Study of ADXS 11-001 Vaccination in HPV-positive Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Researchers are evaluating whether ADXS 11-001 vaccination prior to transoral surgery will improve outcomes for patients with HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer.
TORS May Improve Swallowing Function in Patients With Oropharyngeal Cancer
Findings suggest that TORS is a promising strategy for improving swallowing function in patients with OPSCC, without compromising disease-free survival.
New Staging System for HPV-positive Oropharyngeal Cancer Proposed
The ICON-S developed a TNM classification specific to human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal cancer.
HPV-16 in Oral Cavity Associated With Increased Risk of Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Detection of human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 in the oral cavity may be associated with 22-times increased risk of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
HPV16+ Patients With Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Cancer Survive Longer Than HPV- Patients
Human papillomavirus 16 (HPV16)-positive patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell cancer (OPSCC) survive longer than HPV-negative patients.
Veterans May Face Poorer Oral, Throat Cancer Outcomes
