Human papillomavirus (HPV) plays a causative role in squamous cell carcinomas of the oropharynx (tonsil, soft palate, and base of tongue). P16 immunohistochemistry is widely used to discriminate HPV-independent from HPV-driven oropharyngeal cancers, with P16 (HPV)-positive cancers having a superior prognosis. The etiologic role of HPV and utility of P16 as a biomarker in non-oropharyngeal cancers is less clear, though many recent studies have emerged linking HPV to non-oropharyngeal cancers and identifying P16 as a potential prognostic biomarker in this context. This session will highlight recent research on the epidemiology and prognostic implications of HPV and P16 in non-oropharyngeal cancers, with attention to differences compared to oropharyngeal cancers and present gaps in knowledge.
