Reasons its wide pretreatment interpatient variability are not well understood.To characterize clinicopathologic factors associated with TTMV HPV DNA.This cross-sectional study included patients evaluated carcinoma at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Massachusetts, between December 2019 and January 2022 who were undergoing curative-intent treatment.Clinicopathologic characteristics including demographic variables, nodal staging, genotype, imaging findings.Pretreatment circulating from 5 genotypes (16, 18, 31, 33, 35) assessed using commercially available digital droplet polymerase chain reaction-based assay, considered as either detectable/undetectable or continuous score (fragments/mL).Among 110 patients, 96 men (87%) 104 White (95%), mean (SD) age of 62.2 (9.4) years. was detected 98 (89%), median (IQR) 315 (47-2686) fragments/mL (range, 0-60 061 fragments/mL).

Development of evidence-based post-treatment surveillance guidelines in recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) is limited by comprehensive documentation patterns recurrence metastatic spread.A retrospective analysis patients diagnosed with R/M HNSCC at a National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center between 1998- 2019 was performed (n = 447). Univariate multivariate identified predictors survival.Median overall survival (mOS) improved over time (6.7 months 1998-2007 to 11.8 2008-2019, p .006). Predictors worse mOS included human papillomavirus (HPV) negativity (hazard ratio [HR], 1.8; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2-2.6), high neutrophil/lymphocyte (HR, 2.1 [1.4-3.0], disease-free (DFI) ≤6 1.4 [1.02-2.0]), poor performance status (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, ≥2; HR, 1.91.1-3.4). In this cohort, 50.6% recurrences occurred within 6 treatment completion, 72.5% 1 year, 88.6% 2 years. Metachronous distant metastases were more likely occur HPV-positive disease (odds [OR], 2.3 [1.4-4.0]), DFI >6 (OR, 2.4 [1.5-4.0]), body mass index ≥30 [1.1-4.8]).

The oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) 5 year survival rate of 41% has marginally improved in the last few years, with less than a 1% improvement per from 2005 to 2017, higher rates when detected at early stages. Based on histopathological grading dysplasia, it is estimated that severe dysplasia malignant transformation 7%-50%. Despite these numbers, does not reliably predict its clinical behavior. Thus, more accurate markers predicting progression cancer would enable better targeting lesions for closer follow-up, especially stages disease. In this context, molecular biomarkers derived genetics, proteins, and metabolites play key roles oncology. These signatures can help likelihood OSCC development and/or have potential detect disease an stage and, support treatment decision-making responsiveness.
