'''Human papillomavirus-associated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma''', abbreviated '''HPV-associated SCC''', is a type of [[head and neck squamous cell carcinoma]]. | |||
It has a unique epidemiology, when compared to conventional head and neck [[squamous cell carcinoma]]. | |||
==General== | |||
*Tumours associated with high risk HPV, typically [[HPV]] 16.<ref name=pmid22001331 >{{Cite journal | last1 = Wang | first1 = XI. | last2 = Thomas | first2 = J. | last3 = Zhang | first3 = S. | title = Changing trends in human papillomavirus-associated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. | journal = Ann Diagn Pathol | volume = 16 | issue = 1 | pages = 7-12 | month = Jan | year = 2012 | doi = 10.1016/j.anndiagpath.2011.07.003 | PMID = 22001331 }}</ref> | |||

*Lesions more radiosensitive and usually have a better prognosis.<ref name=pmid22001331/> | |||
==Gross== | |||
Classic locations: | |||
*Tonsil and base of tongue<ref name=pmid21752613/> (palatine tonsil, lingual tonsil, oropharynx). | |||
