Background: COVID-19 has caused over 46,000 deaths in New York City, with a disproportional impact on certain communities.

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.

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.
