RESUMO
BACKGROUND: France has the sixth highest incidence of oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) in Europe, but the epidemiological impact of high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) remains poorly documented. The objective of our study was to assess the proportion of OPCs caused by HR-HPV in Paris, and its suburbs, over the four past decades. This area accounts for almost one-fifth of the total population of France. METHODS: OPCs diagnosed in 1981, 1986, 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016 and 2020/2021 in two of the main referral cancer centers for HNCs in Paris and its suburbs were retrieved from the tumor biobanks. HPV status was determined by p16-staining and HPV-DNA detection. Samples were considered HPV-driven if both assays were positive. Results were compared to the French cancer registry data. RESULTS: Samples from 697 OPC patients were assessed (including 82â¯% of all samples diagnosed in 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016, 2021). The proportion of HPV-driven cases rose from 2.7â¯% to 53â¯% between 1981 and 2021. HPV16 was the dominant genotype during the study period. Of patients with HPV-driven OPC, 81â¯% were male and 42â¯% were smokers versus 80â¯% and 92â¯% in their HPV-negative counterparts. The age of OPC patients increased significantly, during the study period, independent of their HPV status CONCLUSION: The proportion of HPV-driven OPCs has significantly increased in Paris and its suburbs, during the last four decades. OPCs has become the 2nd predominant type of head and neck cancer, in France. This may be linked to the rise in HPV-driven cases and the decrease of tobacco and alcohol consumption in men.

We communicate here two complete Human papillomavirus 11 (HPV11) genomes recovered from one transitional and from one squamous inverted sinonasal papilloma, a rare proliferative disease in humans. Both genomes belong to the HPV11_A2 sublineage.
