Journal Article
Increasing Patients With HPV-positive Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma and its Oncologic Outcomes in the Rural Region in Northern Japan
2024
Overview
Despite the global rise in the incidence of human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal carcinoma (OPC) in recent years, its prevalence and oncological outcomes in patients living in rural areas of Northern Japan has not been explored and should be investigated.
A total of 105 patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma who underwent HPV screening and received first-line treatment were included in this study. The annual changes in the number of patients, survival rates, and clinical factors affecting prognosis were examined.
The HPV-positive rate in patients with OPC was low, with the lowest rate of 10.0% in 2013 and the highest rate of 46.7% in 2020. The number of HPV-negative cases remained almost unchanged, whereas the overall number of cases increased with the increasing number of HPV-positive cases. Additionally, HPV-positive cases exhibited a fairly good prognosis.
The number of OPC cases increased not only in urban areas, but also in rural areas. HPV-positive cases had better outcomes than HPV-negative cases.
