A novel classification scheme that may have value for patient stratification for clinical trials testing HPV-targeted therapies is defined, namely HPV+/p16 high (class III) in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
Human papillomavirus in cervical and head-and-neck cancer
This Review summarizes the main events of the HPV life cycle, the functions of the viral proteins, and the implications of HPV infection on their hosts, with an emphasis on carcinogenic mechanisms and disease outcomes in head-and-neck cancer.
