Radiation therapy (with or without neck surgery) for phenotypic human papillomavirus–associated oropharyngeal cancer

Abstract: Background Favorable outcomes for HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) has led to interest in identifying a subgroup of patients with the lowest risk of disease recurrence following therapy. De-intensification of therapy for this group may result in survival outcomes that are similar to current therapy but with less toxicity. To advance this effort, we analyzed the outcomes of OPC patients treated with and without systemic therapy. Methods This is a retrospective study of oropharyngeal cancer patients t… Show more

“…Minimally invasive surgery as the only treatment modality seems to be a valid option for localized, superficial HPV‐associated SCC of the larynx. This is fully consistent with the de‐intensification therapy concept proposed by, but not yet validated by the literature …”

“…In CUHN022 tumor, radiosensitization due to EphB4 targeting was observed after radiation dose de-escalation. HPV-positive tumors are known to be less malignant234 and ongoing trials are focused on treatment de-intensification35363738. Our results with CUHN022 show no effect of EphB4 targeting on radiosensitization with high dose of radiation, but a difference was noticed when the radiation dose was decreased.…”

“…In general, adjuvant radiation is delivered in the presence of positive margins and adverse features in the primary cancer or the neck dissection specimen [33]. However, several prospective data sets have questioned the value of concurrent CRT in the adjuvant setting for HPV-positive tumours [34,35], and de-intensification regimes are being tested in ongoing trials.…”
