Background: COVID-19 has caused over 46,000 deaths in New York City, with a disproportional impact on certain communities. As part of the COVID-19 response, the city has directly administered over 6 million COVID-19 tests (in addition to millions of indirectly administered tests not covered in this analysis) at no cost to individuals, resulting in nearly half a million positive results. Given that the prevalence of testing, throughout the pandemic, has tended to be higher in more affluent areas, these tests were targeted to areas with fewer resources.

Importance: Despite the favorable prognosis for HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV+ OPSCC), efforts to de-escalate treatment intensity, while maintaining low recurrence and mortality rates, have proven challenging. Identifying appropriate prognostic factors remains elusive; however, the association of pretreatment circulating tumor tissue viral-modified HPV (TTMV-HPV) DNA level with known characteristics of disease burden-clinical staging, characteristics of pretreatment imaging, and aggressive histopathologic features of surgical specimen-may offer insights that could shift treatment paradigms for HPV+ OPSCC.
Objective: To investigate the association of pretreatment TTMV-HPV DNA levels with clinical, radiologic, histopathologic, and outcome metrics in patients with HPV+ OPSCC.
Importance: Treating locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (LA SCCHN) involves any combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, followed by routine monitoring for local recurrence or distant metastases. Given the poor patient outcomes, a significant unmet clinical need for improved treatment options remains.
Objective: To evaluate efficacy and safety of maintenance atezolizumab in patients with LA SCCHN at high risk of disease progression after multimodal definitive treatment.

Introduction: Since the Fourth edition of the WHO classification, PPGLs have been recognized for their metastatic potential, though no clear features can accurately predict this behavior. The prognostic value of Ki-67 in assessing the risk of progression, relapse, or metastasis in PPGLs remains debated.
Methods: This cohort study included 501 patients diagnosed with PPGLs at the First Hospital of Jilin University between 2000 and 2022, with clinical data, treatment details, pathological indicators, and germline gene test results collected.
