Abstract excerpt
The most widely applied algorithm for human papillomavirus (HPV) detection in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens of oropharyngeal head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) consists of p16INK4A immunostaining followed by PCR-based detection of high-risk HPV DNA on p16INK4A-immunopositive samples. However, in nonoropharyngeal HNSCC this algorithm fails, hampering correct interpretation of the...
