ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Human papillomavirus (HPV) has emerged as a potential etiological factor in sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC), but a clear understanding of HPV prevalence and its temporal patterns in SNSCC remains elusive. This study aimed to investigate temporal trends in HPV testing and positivity rates, and explore demographic and geographic factors associated with these trends.METHODS:
A retrospective cohort study included patients diagnosed with invasive SNSCC between 2011 and 2017 from the US National Cancer Database (NCDB). Prevalence ratios (PR) of HPV positivity and testing rates were estimated with the corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI).RESULTS:
The overall HPV testing rate was 45.4 % (N = 1762/3880), and the prevalence of HPV testing significantly decreased during the study period (adjusted PR 0.97, 95 % CI 0.95 - 0.99, p < 0.001). Overall HPV positivity frequency was 37.3 % (N = 650/1741), and the overall prevalence of HPV positive tumors significantly increased during the study period (adjusted PR 1.04, 95 % CI 1.02 - 1.05, p < 0.001). The increase in HPV positivity rate was observed solely in the white population (unadjusted PR 1.10, 95 % CI 1.06 - 1.14; p < 0.001). A significant geographical variation was observed for both HPV testing (range 28.6 % - 61.7 %) and positivity (range 28.3 % - 44.7 %).CONCLUSIONS:
This study provides novel insights into the temporal trends and demographic factors associated with HPV testing and positivity in SNSCC. Despite increasing HPV positivity rates, disparities in testing rates persist, highlighting the need for standardized testing protocols and targeted interventions.Palavras-chave
