Human Papillomavirus in Sinonasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Human papillomavirus (HPV) drives tumorigenesis in a subset of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCC) and is increasing in prevalence across the world. Mounting evidence suggests HPV is also involved in a subset of sinonasal squamous cell carcinomas (SNSCC), yet small sample sizes and variability of HPV detection techniques in existing literature hinder definitive conclusions. A systematic review was performed by searching literature through March 29th 2020 using PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science Core Collection databases. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed by two authors independently. A meta-analysis was performed using the random-effects model. Sixty studies (n = 1449) were eligible for statistical analysis estimating an overall HPV prevalence of 25.5% (95% CI 20.7-31.0). When stratified by HPV detection method, prevalence with multiple substrate testing (20.5%, 95% CI 14.5-28.2) was lower than with single substrate testing (31.7%, 95% CI 23.6-41.1), highest in high-exposure anatomic subsites (nasal cavity and ethmoids) (37.6%, 95% CI 26.5-50.2) vs. low-exposure (15.1%, 95% CI 7.3-28.6) and highest in high HPV+ OPSCC prevalence geographic regions (North America) (30.9%, 95% CI 21.9-41.5) vs. low (Africa) (13.1, 95% CI 6.5-24.5)). While small sample sizes and variability in data cloud firm conclusions, here, we provide a new reference point prevalence for HPV in SNSCC along with orthogonal data supporting a causative role for virally driven tumorigenesis, including that HPV is more commonly found in sinonasal subsites with increased exposure to refluxed oropharyngeal secretions and in geographic regions where HPV+ OPSCC is more prevalent.

Project description:ImportanceOverall, the prognosis of sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is poor. This malignancy can arise de novo or from inverted papillomas, but it is unclear whether survival differences between the 2 pathologies exist.ObjectiveTo assess for survival differences between patients with sinonasal de novo SCC (dnSCC) and those with inverted papilloma-associated SCC (IPSCC).Data sourcesA search of Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library from inception to January 23, 2020, with cross-referencing of retrieved studies, was performed. Additional data were requested from authors.Study selectionInclusion and exclusion criteria were designed to capture studies with survival outcomes of adults with sinonasal SCC who underwent regular treatment. Clinical trials, cohort studies, case-control studies, and case series with more than 10 adults aged 18 years or older with sinonasal SCC were included. Exclusion criteria were studies on non-SCC sinonasal neoplasms, studies without histopathologic diagnoses, non-English language articles, nonhuman animal studies, and abstract-only articles. Two blinded investigators (J.J.L., A.M.P., T.W.E., or N.S.W.) screened each abstract and full text, and a third investigator (J.J.L. or P.P.) adjudicated discrepancies. Of 729 unique citations, 26 studies of 1194 total patients were included.Data extraction and synthesisMeta-Analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guidelines were followed. The Methodological Index for Nonrandomized Studies (MINORS) criteria were used to assess study quality. Two blinded investigators (J.J.L., A.M.P., T.W.E., or N.S.W.) independently extracted data from each study. Data were pooled using a random-effects model.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary outcome was overall survival, and secondary outcomes were disease-free and disease-specific survival. Before data collection, it was hypothesized that the dnSCC cohort would have worse survival outcomes than the IPSCC cohort.ResultsOne study of patients with dnSCC, 12 studies of patients with IPSCC, and 5 studies with both cohorts were included in the meta-analysis of overall survival. The pooled 5-year overall survival rate for 255 patients with dnSCC was 56% (95% CI, 41%-71%; I2 = 83.8%) and for 475 patients with IPSCC was 65% (95% CI, 56%-73%; I2 = 75.7%). Five comparative studies of both cohorts totaling 240 patients with dnSCC and 155 patients with IPSCC were included in another meta-analysis. The pooled overall survival hazard ratio was 1.87 (95% CI, 1.24-2.84; I2 = 0%).Conclusions and relevanceThis systematic review and meta-analysis found that patients with dnSCC had almost a 2-fold increased risk of mortality compared with those with IPSCC. Large, multicenter studies are necessary to validate these findings before considering treatment alterations such as de-escalation based on histopathology.

Project description:ImportanceAlthough the survival impact of human papillomavirus (HPV) in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is well known, there has been conflicting and scarce evidence on the role of HPV in non-OPSCC.ObjectiveTo undertake a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA)-compliant systematic review and meta-analysis of all published studies on the association between HPV status and survival outcomes in patients with non-OPSCC, analyzing each site separately.Data sourcesPubMed, CINAHL, and Embase were searched from 1946 to December 16, 2019, for English-language articles.Study selectionAnalysis comprised randomized clinical trials or observational studies that each included at least 10 patients with non-OPSCC in which the presence of HPV was analyzed, survival outcomes were reported, and a clinical follow-up of 1 year or more was performed. Studies excluded were those in which data on OPSCC and non-OPSCC were not distinguished between both cohorts and studies on patients with distant metastatic tumors at diagnosis. Final analysis included outcomes that were analyzed in at least 3 studies.Data extraction and synthesisTwo reviewers independently abstracted the data. Risk of bias was estimated with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Meta-analysis was performed using the random-effects model.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary end point was overall survival (OS); secondary end points were disease-specific survival (DSS) and disease-free survival (DFS).ResultsOf the 3947 articles screened, a total of 22 observational and 2 randomized clinical trials were included in the analysis, representing 24 854 patients. In oral cavity locations, OS was not significantly associated with HPV positivity (hazard ratio [HR], 1.16; 95% CI, 0.83-1.61; I2 = 71%); however, HPV-positive tumors showed worse DFS (HR, 1.81; 95% CI, 1.12-2.91; I2 = 47%). Laryngeal and hypopharyngeal HPV-positive tumors were associated with improved OS (HR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.54-0.92; I2 = 38% and HR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.47-0.76; I2 = 0%), respectively, whereas, in nasopharyngeal locations HPV was not associated with OS (HR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.49-1.38; I2 = 46%) or DSS (HR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.22-1.42; I2 = 65%).Conclusions and relevanceIn this meta-analysis of 24 studies, HPV was associated with improved OS in laryngeal and hypopharyngeal locations but not in the oral cavity and the nasopharynx. This information may be useful for future clinical studies of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal tumors and whether HPV status should be incorporated in prognostication of patients with these cancers.
