Evaluation of p16INK4a expression as a single marker to select patients with HPV-driven oropharyngeal cancers for treatment de-escalation
5 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background A remarkably better prognosis is associated with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCC) driven by human papillomaviruses (HPV) compared with HPV-negative OPSCC. Consequently, de-escalation of standard treatment has been suggested. Due to modest specificity rates, debates are ongoing, whether p16INK4a, a surrogate marker for HPV-driven OPSCC, is sufficient to correctly identify those...
