Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma has been traditionally associated with tobacco and alcohol consumption. Nevertheless, latter 30 years have shown squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) incidence stagnation and increasing, despite the decrease in smoking prevalence. The incidence was recognized among white men of middle age, often non-smokers or former smokers in the investigations with smoking cessation data. It differs from traditional patient with OPSCC, older men, heavy smoker or alcohol drinker. The incidence of OPSCC is increased due human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. The infection transition is associated with sex and oro-genital contact may lead to HPV-infection of oropharynx and oral cavity. There are multiple types of HPV, but the majority of OPSCC is associated with HPV 16 type. Epidemiology of HPV-associated OPSCC, HPV-infection of oral cavity and/or oropharynx and HPV detection are discussed in the review.

Work Up

Oral cavity carcinoma (OCC) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with head and neck cancer. Although the incidence has decreased over the last decade, outcomes remain stagnant with only a 5% improvement in overall survival in the last 20 years. Although surgical resection remains the primary treatment modality, several areas of controversy exist with regard to work-up, management of the primary and neck tumors, and adjuvant therapy. As surgical techniques evolve, so has the delivery of radiotherapy and systemic treatment, which have helped to improve the outcomes for patients with advanced disease. Recently, the addition of cetuximab has shown promise as a way to improve outcomes while minimizing toxicity, and this remains an active area of study in the adjuvant setting. Advances in microvascular free-flap reconstruction have extended the limits of resection and enabled enhanced restoration of function and cosmesis. While these advances have led to limited survival benefit, evaluation of alternative modalities has gained interest on the basis of success in other head and neck subsites. Organ preservation with definitive chemoradiotherapy, though proven in the larynx and pharynx, remains controversial in OCC. Likewise, although the association of human papillomavirus is well established in oropharyngeal carcinoma, it has not been proven in the pathogenesis or survival of OCC. Future study of the molecular biology and pathogenesis of OCC should offer additional insight into screening, treatment selection, and novel therapeutic approaches.

A Prospective Study

A critical factor in the pretreatment evaluation of patients with carcinoma of the oral cavity or oropharynx is the presence or absence of bone invasion. A prospective study was performed to compare the sensitivity and specificity of plain radiographs and computed tomography in detecting mandibular invasion by cancer arising in these sites. Forty-three consecutive patients with previously untreated oral cavity or oropharyngeal carcinoma were evaluated preoperatively by intraoral radiographs (dental occlusal views and panoramic radiographs) and CT, and the results were compared with postoperative pathologic findings. Of the 11 cases in which pathologic examination confirmed bone invasion, conventional x-ray films were positive in seven (63.6%). Computed tomography confirmed bone invasion in all 11 (100%) of these patients. In addition, the CT scan was more specific than conventional x-ray films in detecting bone invasion. Based on the findings in this study, we strongly recommend CT as the only radiographic study necessary to evaluate intraoral carcinoma prior to treatment.
