Prevalence of human papillomavirus in head and neck cancers at tertiary care centers in the United States over time

Abstract

The majority of OPSCCs in US tertiary care centers are now p16 and ISH positive for all sex and race groups. In some populations in the United States, 91% of OPSCCs are now caused by HPV. Few non-OPSCCs are p16 and ISH positive.
