Human papillomavirus DNA load and p16INK4aexpression predict for local control in patients with anal squamous cell carcinoma treated with chemoradiotherapy
16 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
As the detection rate of HPV-DNA in anal carcinoma commonly exceeds 90%, a comparison between sole HPV-positive and HPV-negative cancers with respect to treatment response following chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and long-term oncological outcome is challenging. Against this background, we aimed to assess HPV types and HPV DNA load in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE) of 95 patients treated with standard...
