Prognostic implications of human papillomavirus type 16 status in non-oropharyngeal head and neck cancer: a propensity score matching analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background:The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between HPV 16 status and survival outcomes in patients with non-oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma (non-OPSCC). Methods:Patients with non-OPSCC diagnosed between 2006 and 2016 were included in this study. The presence of HPV 16 DNA was confirmed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier estimates, the Cox proportional hazards model, and propensity score matching (PSM). Results:Overall, 1,539 patients with adequate specimens were identified, of whom 131 (8.51%) were positive for HPV 16. Compared to HPV 16-negative patients, the adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) for HPV 16-positive non-OPSCC patients were 0.77 and 0.81 for disease-specific survival (DSS) and overall survival (OS), respectively. Additionally, the larynx was the only subsite in which DSS was significantly improved. After PSM, cohorts consisted of 129 patients in the HPV 16-positive group and 129 in the HPV 16-negative group. HPV 16-positive non-OPSCC patients had favorable survival outcomes, however, these outcomes were not significantly different compared to HPV 16-negative patients. Stratified analysis performed according to primary site showed that only in the larynx was HPV 16-positive status a significant factor for predicting favorable DSS. Conclusions:Our findings indicate that HPV 16-positive non-OPSCC patients did not have significantly better survival outcomes compared to HPV 16-negative patients.

Project description:ImportanceHuman papillomavirus-related oropharyngeal carcinoma (HPV-OPC) is increasing in incidence in the United States. Although HPV-OPC has favorable prognosis, 10% to 25% of HPV-OPCs recur. Detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA in oral rinses is associated with HPV-OPC, but its potential as a prognostic biomarker is unclear.ObjectiveTo determine whether HPV DNA detection in oral rinses after treatment for HPV-OPC is associated with recurrence and survival.Design, setting, and participantsProspective cohort study of patients with incident HPV-OPC diagnosed from 2009 to 2013 at 4 academic tertiary referral cancer centers in the United States. Oral rinse samples were collected at diagnosis and after treatment (9, 12, 18, and 24 months after diagnosis), and evaluated for HPV DNA. Among an initial cohort of 157 participants with incident HPV-OPC treated with curative intent, 124 had 1 or more posttreatment oral rinses available and were included in this study.Main outcomes and measuresDisease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and the association of HPV DNA detection in oral rinses with survival was evaluated using Cox regression analysis.ResultsOral HPV type 16 (HPV16) DNA was common at diagnosis (67 of 124 participants [54%]). In contrast, oral HPV16 DNA was detected in only 6 participants after treatment (5%), including 5 with HPV16 DNA also detected at diagnosis (persistent oral HPV16 DNA). Two-year DFS and OS were 92% (95% CI, 94%-100%) and 98% (95% CI, 93%-99%). Persistent oral HPV16 DNA was associated with worse DFS (hazard ratio, 29.7 [95% CI, 9.0-98.2]) and OS (hazard ratio, 23.5 [95% CI, 4.7-116.9]). All 5 participants with persistent oral HPV16 DNA developed recurrent disease, 3 with local disease involvement. In contrast, just 9 of 119 participants (8%) without persistent oral HPV16 DNA developed recurrent disease, only 1 (11%) with local disease involvement. Median (range) time from earliest posttreatment oral HPV16 DNA detection to recurrence was 7.0 (3.7-10.9) months.Conclusions and relevanceHuman papillomavirus type 16 DNA in oral rinses is common at diagnosis but rare after treatment for HPV-OPC. Our data suggest that, although infrequent, persistent HPV16 DNA in posttreatment oral rinses is associated with poor prognosis and is a potential tool for long-term tumor surveillance, perhaps more so for local recurrence.
