129
Q

Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas associated with tobacco and alcohol use often exhibit ______TP53, pRb _______, and ________ p16 expression

mutated TP53, pRb overexpression, and decreased p16 expression

130
Q

HPV-associated HNSCC cases typically express _______ TP53, _________ of pRb, and _________ levels of p16.

A

HPV-associated HNSCC cases typically express wild-type TP53, low levels of pRb, and increased levels of p16.

131
Q

What is the gold standard for determining active HPV causing oropharyngeal carcinoma?

A

high-risk HPV E6 and E7 oncogene expression analysis by qRT-PCR (needs fresh frozen tissue)

p16 IHC is more widely available and is a highly sensative (not specific) surrogate for transcriptionally active, high-risk HPV infection in oropharyngeal SCCs

132
Q

What is the molecular basis for using p16 as a surrogate marker in HPV+ SCC?

A

overexpression of p16 results from inactivation of pRB which is a result of the HPV E7 oncogene

E7 –> blocks pRB —> overexpresses p16

ISH exhibits strong agreement with p16 immunohistochemistry, although it may fail to detect
the minority of oropharyngeal tumors caused by other HPV types

134

What are the 3 best prognostic indicators for oralpharyngeal SCC?

A

lip/oral: tumor stage

oropharyngeal: HPV status, then tobacco, then stage

135
Q

136
Q

Approximately ___% of verrucous carcinoma patients are disease free 5 years after surgery
