For the past two decades an increasing number of oropharyngeal cancers have been found to be associated with the human papilloma virus (HPV). These tumors are a biologically distinct entity with better prognosis and excellent response to therapy. Therefore, a separate staging system has been introduced for HPV-related oropharyngeal tumors in the latest edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC eighth Ed).
