false, not all
since 1988, the incidence of HPV+ oropharyngeal cancers are increasing, while HPV-oropharyngeal cancers decreased. why?
- increase in oral sexual behavior
2. decrease in tobacco use
T/F: dx of HPV+ oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is only characterized by the presence of HPV-16 alone
false
what must be present for dx of HPV+ oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC)?

comorbidities like smoking and immunodeficiency
list from best to worst px for HPV-related orpharyngeal cancer
- HPV+, non-smoker
- HPV+, smoker
- HPV-, non-smoker
- HPV-, smoker
why is HPV testing important in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma?
to identify pts that should have tx de-escalated
HPV+ improved the survival rate of pts with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) by how many years?
3 years
80% for HPV+ vs 40% for HPV-
why does HPV+ increase the survival rate of pts with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC)?
- fewer genetic alterations
2. better response to therapy (surgery and/or radiotherapy)

- cervical cancer
- vulvar cancer
- vaginal cancer
why does the HPV vaccine not provide protection against diseases?
due to ALL HPV types
