Different Pattern of Treatment Failure After Chemoradiation Between p16+ and p16− Patients Affected by Oropharyngeal Carcinoma

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) exhibits distinct clinical behaviors according to HPV/p16 status and smoking exposure. While HPV‐positive OPC generally shows superior survival, differences in recurrence patterns remain unclear. Methods A retrospective multicenter analysis of 674 AJCC VII edition Stage III–IVa/b OPC patients treated with ...

Toward a Typology of Patients With Head and Neck Cancer: Biopsychosocial Profiles Predicting Longitudinal Quality of Life

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Quality of life (QoL) in head and neck cancer (HNC) is influenced by complex biopsychosocial factors, yet few longitudinal studies have examined these relationships immediately post‐treatment. Methods In this prospective study, 232 patients newly diagnosed with primary HNC completed psychometric assessments, clinical interviews, and
