Comparative StudyDifferences in survival outcome between oropharyngeal and oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma in relation to HPV status.
This study examined the prognostic significance of human papillomavirus (HPV) in patients with oropharyngeal and oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). ⋯ HPV is common in both oropharyngeal and oral cavity SCC and is associated with better survival outcome in oropharyngeal SCC but not in oral cavity SCC patients.
