Abstract
The role of HPV in the survival prognosis of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, especially patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPSCC), is still somewhat ambiguous. The present study aimed to explore the significance of tumor suppressor proteins and HPV16 E6 and E7 oncoproteins in the assessment of survival in patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), LSCC, and HPSCC associated with high-risk (HR-) and low-risk (LR-) HPV infections. By utilizing molecular and immunohistochemical investigations of HNSCC samples and patient data, univariate and multivariate survival analyses were conducted. The presence of HPV DNA (LR- and HR-HPV) was associated with a better 5-year OS and DSS for OPSCC and LSCC. The IHC overexpression of HPV16 E6 protein and p16 protein was associated with better survival in the univariate (for OPSCC) and multivariate (OPSCC and HPSCC) survival analyses. The overexpression of p53 was associated with better survival in OPSCC. HPV infection plays a significant role in the tumorigenesis of HNSCC, and the immunohistochemical assessment of HPV16 E6 protein expression should be interpreted as a useful prognostic marker for OPSCC and HPSCC.

Prevalence of HPV genotypes and assessment of their clinical relevance in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma in a northeastern state of Brazil-a retrospective study. PeerJ 2022; 10:e13684. [PMID: 35846883 PMCID: PMC9285469 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.13684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2022] [Accepted: 06/14/2022] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Background A high prevalence and incidence of head and neck tumors make Brazil the country with the third-highest number of cases of these malignant neoplasms. The main risk factors are smoking and alcohol consumption; however, cases related to the human papillomavirus (HPV) have tripled in number, demonstrating a changing disease profile. Studies have reported the prevalence of HPV in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) to vary between 8% and 83%. The role of HPV as an important causative factor in LSCC remains unclear. Methods This retrospective study included 82 patients with LSCC diagnosed between 2014 and 2019 at two oncology hospitals in São Luís, Brazil. Sociodemographic and clinical data, and the histopathologic characteristics of the tumors, were collected directly from medical records. Genetic material was extracted from paraffin-embedded samples using nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and automated sequencing for HPV detection and genotyping. The results by social and clinicopathologic variables were then compared using the chi-squared test and multivariate analysis. Results Sociodemographic analysesdemonstrated that most patients were men (87.8%), brown-skinned (75.6%), and resident in the state capital (53.7%). They generally had a poor education status (53.7%), having only an elementary school education (completed/incomplete), and 51.2% were self-employed in occupations such as farming or fishing. Smoking and alcohol consumption habits were observed in approximately half the patients. With respect to clinical characteristics, 39% of patients exhibited T1/T2 staging, 51.2% had no distant metastasis, and 30.5% had lymph node invasion. HPV DNA was detected in half the samples (50%), with the high oncogenic type 16 being the most prevalent. There was no significant relationship observed between the economic, educational, occupational with the HPV LSCC in the presented data, although multivariate analysis demonstrated that HPV DNA was more likely to be present in T3-T4 tumors (p = 0.002).

HPV Status as Prognostic Biomarker in Head and Neck Cancer-Which Method Fits the Best for Outcome Prediction? Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13184730. [PMID: 34572957 PMCID: PMC8469433 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13184730] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2021] [Revised: 09/11/2021] [Accepted: 09/20/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
The incidence of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related head and neck cancer (HNSCC) is rising globally, presenting challenges for optimized clinical management. To date, it remains unclear which biomarker best reflects HPV-driven carcinogenesis, a process that is associated with better therapeutic response and outcome compared to tobacco/alcohol-induced cancers. Six potential HPV surrogate biomarkers were analyzed using FFPE tissue samples from 153 HNSCC patients (n = 78 oropharyngeal cancer (OPSCC), n = 35 laryngeal cancer, n = 23 hypopharyngeal cancer, n = 17 oral cavity cancer): p16, CyclinD1, pRb, dual immunohistochemical staining of p16 and Ki67, HPV-DNA-PCR, and HPV-DNA-in situ hybridization (ISH). Biomarkers were analyzed for correlation with one another, tumor subsite, and patient survival. P16-IHC alone showed the best performance for discriminating between good (high expression) vs poor outcome (low expression; p = 0.0030) in OPSCC patients. Additionally, HPV-DNA-ISH (p = 0.0039), HPV-DNA-PCR (p = 0.0113), and p16-Ki67 dual stain (p = 0.0047) were significantly associated with prognosis in uni- and multivariable analysis for oropharyngeal cancer. In the non-OPSCC group, however, none of the aforementioned surrogate markers was prognostic. Taken together, P16-IHC as a single biomarker displays the best diagnostic accuracy for prognosis stratification in OPSCC patients with a direct detection of HPV-DNA by PCR or ISH as well as p16-Ki67 dual stain as potential alternatives.

Abstract
Introduction: Viral diseases can have roles in oral cavity and larynx carcinoma. However, the relationship between HPV, herpetic infection and these cancers is not clear. Materials & methods: DNA of tissues from oral and larynx carcinoma was extracted and the presence of HPV, HSV-1, HSV-2, EBV, CMV and Varicella Zoster virus was detected. Results: We detected five HSV-1 in oral cavity cancer and two HSV-1 in larynx carcinoma. Also, four and two HPV-positive in oral cavity and larynx carcinoma were found, respectively. There were five HPV type 18 and one HPV type 31. None of our samples were infected with EBV, CMV, HSV-2 and Varicella Zoster virus. Conclusion: A higher prevalence of HPV and HSV-1 in cancerous tissues in comparison with normal ones was detected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We report outcomes for patients with T2N0M0 glottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) treated with radiation therapy (RT). METHODS Patients who received definitive RT for T2 glottic SCC from 2000 through 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS One hundred and thirteen patients were analyzed (median follow-up time 91 months; 85 patients received three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy [3D-CRT] and 28 received intensity-modulated radiation therapy [IMRT]). Fractionation was conventional (58%) or altered (42%); 20 patients (18%) received concurrent chemotherapy. Five-year local control was 83% for the 3D-CRT vs 81% for the IMRT group (P = .76). The ultimate locoregional control at 5 years was 100% for IMRT vs 91% for 3D-CRT (P = .1). The 5-year overall survival (OS) was 78% for 3D-CRT vs 81% for IMRT (P = .83). On multivariate analysis, younger age was the only independent predictor of improved OS (P = .0002). CONCLUSIONS Oncologic and survival outcomes were excellent for patients with T2N0 glottic cancer. Patients treated with IMRT and 3D-CRT had no statistically significant differences in all investigated endpoints.

Abstract
Background and objectives: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is one of the most common head and neck tumors. The molecular mechanism of LSCC remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of Human papillomavirus (HPV) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of TP53, MDM2, MDM4, MTHFR, CASP8, and CCR5 genes in LSCC, and to assess their correlations with patient survival. Materials and Methods: 49 LSCC patients were enrolled in this study. PCR and qRT-PCR were used to detect, identify, and quantify HPV. SNPs were genotyped using PCR and PCR-RFLP. Results: By analyzing the interactions of the SNPs of the genes with clinical parameters, the majority of patients with lymph node status (N1,2) were identified as carriers of MDM2T/G, CASP8ins/del, CCR5wt/wt SNP. Cluster analysis showed that patients with MDM2T/T SNP survive longer than patients identified as CASP8ins/ins, MTHFRC/C, and MDM4A/A variant carriers; meanwhile, LSCC patients with MDM2T/T polymorphic variant had the best survival. Multivariate analysis showed that HPV-positive patients without metastasis in regional lymph nodes (N0) and harboring CASP8ins/del variant had the best survival. Meanwhile, HPV-negative patients with identified metastasis in lymph nodes (N1 and N2) and CASP8ins/del variant had poor survival. Conclusions: This finding suggests patients survival prognosis and tumor behavior are different according HPV status, SNP variants, and clinical characteristics of the LSCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aim to report oncologic outcomes after conventional radiotherapy (ConRT) using opposed lateral beams and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for tumor (T)1 nodal (N)0 T1 N0 glottic squamous cell carcinoma. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case-control study. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed demographic, disease, and treatment characteristics for patients treated at our institution during 2000 to 2013. RESULTS One hundred fifty-three patients (71%) were treated using ConRT and 62 (29%) using IMRT. The median follow-up for all patients was 68 months. There was no statistically significant difference in 5-year local control between patients with T1a versus T1b disease (94% vs. 89%, respectively, P = 0.5). Three-year locoregional control for patients treated with ConRT was 94% compared to 97% with IMRT (P = 0.4). Three-year overall survival (OS) for patients treated with ConRT was 92.5% compared with 100% with IMRT (P = 0.1). Twelve of 14 patients with local recurrence underwent salvage surgery with 5-year ultimate locoregional control of 98.5% and 97.1% in the ConRT and IMRT cohorts, respectively (P = 0.7). Multivariate analysis showed age < 60 years (P < 0.0001) and pretreatment Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status <2 (P = 0.0022) to be independent correlates of improved OS. Postradiation cerebrovascular events were in four patients in the ConRT cohort (3%), whereas no patients in the IMRT cohort suffered any events. CONCLUSION Because the oncologic outcomes for patients treated with IMRT were excellent and IMRT allows for carotid sparing, we have transitioned to IMRT as our standard for most patients with T1 glottic cancer. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3b Laryngoscope, 130:146-153, 2020.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the association of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection with prognosis, specifically overall survival (OS) and disease‐free survival (DFS), in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) patients. Method A systematic review and meta‐analysis were performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. LSCC was confirmed on the basis of histopathology, whereas HPV status was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction. Results A total of 6539 articles were initially searched from 8 databases, of which 11 studies were eligible for our review. A total of 1442 LSCC cases were included in this analysis. Eight studies examined 3‐year OS for LSCC. The pooled hazard ratio (HR) from the 8 studies was 0.29 (95% CI: 0.25‐0.33). There was a statistically significant difference in 3‐year OS between the HPV‐negative and ‐positive groups, with the latter having a better survival. There was no statistically significant differences in 5‐ and 10‐year OS. Five studies examined 3‐ and 5‐year DFS for LSCC, whereas only 3 studies examined 10‐year DFS. There was no statistically significant difference in 3‐, 5‐, and 10‐year DFS between the HPV groups. Conclusion This study evaluated the survival impact of HPV infection in LSCC patients. The OS of the HPV‐positive group was better than that of the HPV‐negative group in terms of short‐term survival. Compared with the HPV‐negative group, the HPV‐positive group had a better trend of DFS, suggesting that a larger sample size and further exploration of the pathology and local control of HPV‐positive tumors are needed.

Abstract
Background Interferon alpha (IFNalpha) exerts its anti-proliferative effect on many human cancers. Among the 13 subtypes of human IFNalpha, IFNalpha-1 subtype has 2 variants, named IFNalpha-1a and IFNalpha-1b, that differ from each other in only 1 amino acid, at residue 114. However, the mechanism by which IFNalpha-1a mediates growth inhibition is still unclear. Material/Methods Human laryngeal carcinoma HEp2 cells were treated with IFNalpha-1a by either transient transfection or exogenous delivery. Western blot and RT-PCR analysis were carried out to assess apoptotic pathways active in IFNalpha-1a-treated HEp2 cells. Microarray analysis was conducted to uncover the differential gene expressions after IFNalpha-1a treatment. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis was also performed. Results IFNalpha-1a markedly inhibited the proliferation and significantly promoted the apoptosis of HEp-2 cells. Mechanistic studies indicate that IFNalpha-1a-mediated cell apoptosis is directly linked to intrinsic and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-related apoptosis, but is independent of extrinsic apoptosis. The top 40 differentially expressed genes discovered by microarray analysis included 20 upregulated genes (e.g., IFI6, IFI27, IFI44L, and MIR548X) and 20 downregulated genes (e.g., PRKDC, HIST1H3B, DYNC1H1, and HIST1H2AM). KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed that 4 out of 6 pathways are TP53-related. Conclusions We demonstrated a detailed mechanism involved in IFNalpha-1a-mediated anti-proliferation activity in human laryngeal carcinoma cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE (1) To identify p16 protein in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) specimens and to correlate it with the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) found in these specimens from a previous study. (2) To analyze p16 impact on 10-year overall and disease-free survival. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case series with oncologic database chart review. SETTING Academic tertiary care hospital. SUBJECTS A total of 123 samples of LSCC (taken from the glottis only) from patients treated with primary surgical resection between 1977 and 2005. METHODS p16 protein expression was analyzed through immunohistochemistry and compared with the presence of HPV established in our previous studies. Results were compared with histologic, clinicopathologic, and survival parameters, with a 10-year follow-up. RESULTS Of the samples, 39.02% were positive for p16, but only 11.38% were positive for both p16 and HPV. The p16+ cohort showed a significant improvement in disease-free survival ( P = .0022); statistical significance was not achieved for overall survival. p16+ cases had fewer relapses over time, with no relapses after a 2-year follow-up. Age at the time of diagnosis and tobacco consumption were the only epidemiologic factors that influenced overall survival. CONCLUSION The expression of p16 protein was a beneficial prognostic factor for disease-free survival among patients with LSCC of the glottis, with no relapses after a 2-year follow-up.
