Article Synopsis
- HPV is a significant risk factor for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), which is on the rise globally, especially in younger patients under 45 years of age.
- A study at Besançon University Hospital analyzed HPV DNA and p16 expression in HNSCC patients, including a group under 45 and one aged 45 and older.
- Results showed that HPV infection prevalence was around 11.7%, and although HPV16 was the main strain identified, p16 expression levels were similar across both age groups, indicating potential for p16 as a general prognostic biomarker for HNSCC.
