Association between p53 status, human papillomavirus infection, and overall survival in advanced oral cancer after resection and combination systemic treatment

Our previous study on 75 cases of advanced oral squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy, radical surgery, and radiotherapy showed that overexpression of p53 of more than 50% indicated a strong probability of genetic mutation, and tumours that are characterised by this p53 pattern respond poorly to treatment and have a poor prognosis (p= 0.0001). We have studied the same cohort of patients retrospectively to investigate the incidence of human papillomavirus-16 (HPV16) infection, the relation to the overexpression or mutation of the p53 gene, and the association with overall survival.
