Smoking status, alcohol consumption and HPV infection (acquired through sexual activity) are the predominant risk factors for oropharyngeal cancer and are thought to alter the prognosis of the disease. Here, we conduct epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) of these factors and ∼3-year survival using Illumina Methylation EPIC blood DNA methylation profiles from 409 individuals in the Head and Neck 5000 (HN5000)...
