Abstract:
What's new? Despite the decreasing prevalence of tobacco smoking across much of the developed world, the incidence of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) continues to rise. In some areas, the rise has been accompanied by an increasing prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in OPSCC, though prevalence rates vary widely. Here, low HPV prevalence is reported for tumor material collected from a subset of OPSCC patients in northern Spain over the period 1990−2009. OPSCC incidence is notably high in that region of the country, but HPV rates increased only modestly, from 1.8% to 6.1%, over the years studied.
