Abstract

Human papillomavirus-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV-associated OPSCC) is well known to have a relatively indolent behavior, and it should be staged separately. P16 is a useful surrogate marker for HPV status in OP region. However, the low prevalence of HPV infection in Taiwan (lower than 30%) may cause increased possibility of false positive for p16 staining. This study is aimed to determine the concordance of p16 IHC stain and HPV RNA ISH in Taiwan population.
