High nodal FDG uptake increases risk of distant metastasis in patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate if FDG uptake metrics in primary tumor and lymph node metastases in patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) has a prognostic value beyond UICC8 staging in a multiple endpoint model.

Methods: Patients with OPSCC treated with primary radiotherapy at Rigshospitalet in the period 2010-2017 were included. All patients had a pretreatment FDG PET/CT scan performed.

The Copenhagen Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma database: protocol and report on establishing a comprehensive oral cavity cancer database.

Objective: The aim was to establish a large comprehensive database of patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) to enable surveillance and research of the disease.

Methods: All patients diagnosed and/or treated for OSCC at Rigshospitalet, University of Copenhagen, Denmark in the period 2000-2014 were included. Rigshospitalet is a tertiary treatment center and covers the Eastern Denmark region, comprising nearly half of the approximately 5.

Association between oropharyngeal cancers with known HPV and p16 status and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia: a Danish population-based study.

Background: Persistent infection with high-risk genotypes of human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main risk factor in the development of uterine cervical precancerous lesions and cervical cancer (CC), and cases of HPV-induced oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is increasing in the Western world. We investigated the association between HPV and p16 status and previous results of cervical examinations, including cytological and histological tests, in females with OPSCC.

Material And Methods: We included females diagnosed with an OPSCC in Eastern Denmark from 2000 to 2014.
