In the 8th edition of the TNM classification, extracapsular spread (ECS) became a factor in classifying the UICC stage of oropharyngeal carcinomas (OPSCC). We aimed to find genetic markers for ECS and to identify differences between HPV/p16-positive and HPV/p16-negative cases.
We performed targeted next-generation sequencing on 99 samples of operable OPSCC and a retrospective analysis of clinical data.
We included 55 HPV/p16-positive and 44 HPV/p16-negative patients. We found a significant difference between both groups, particularly in TP53 mutation ( < 0.001). Among other things, a small primary tumor ( < 0.001), no ECS ( = 0.026) were identified as predictors for survival. Multiple mutations were associated with an increased incidence of ECS, especially in HPV+/p16+ cases ( = 0.017). A mutation in PIK3CA occurred more frequently in nonsmokers, especially in HPV-/p16- patients ( = 0.027). A PTEN mutation-which only occurred in HPV+/p16+ tissues-reduced disease-free survival (DFS, = 0.026).
The presence of multiple mutations in HPV+/p16+ OPSCC was associated with a higher risk of ECS.
在第8版TNM分类中,包膜外扩散(ECS)成为口咽癌(OPSCC)国际抗癌联盟(UICC)分期的一个因素。我们旨在寻找ECS的遗传标志物,并确定HPV/p16阳性和HPV/p16阴性病例之间的差异。
我们对99例可手术的OPSCC样本进行了靶向二代测序,并对临床数据进行了回顾性分析。
我们纳入了55例HPV/p16阳性和44例HPV/p16阴性患者。我们发现两组之间存在显著差异,尤其是在TP53突变方面(<0.001)。除此之外,小的原发肿瘤(<0.001)、无ECS(=0.026)被确定为生存的预测因素。多种突变与ECS发生率增加相关,尤其是在HPV+/p16+病例中(=0.017)。PIK3CA突变在非吸烟者中更频繁发生,尤其是在HPV-/p16-患者中(=0.027)。仅在HPV+/p16+组织中发生的PTEN突变降低了无病生存期(DFS,=0.026)。
HPV+/p16+ OPSCC中多种突变的存在与ECS的较高风险相关。
