Does Smoking Influence Outcomes in Human Papillomavirus—Associated Oropharyngeal Cancer Treated with Transoral Robotic Surgery?

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Smoking has been identified as a risk factor for recurrence in HPV‐associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) treated with definitive chemoradiation. Whether the same prognostic significance holds with surgical treatment such as transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is less well studied.
