ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is a malignant tumor that occurs at the tongue base, soft palate, palatine tonsil, and pharyngeal wall. Few studies of OPSCC have been performed in elderly patients.METHODS:
Patients with human papilloma virus (HPV)-related OPSCC were extracted from the Head and Neck with HPV Status Database of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2010 and 2016. We identified 355 patients with HPV-positive status, and we retrospectively evaluated elderly (≥65 years) and younger (30-64 years) patient groups to compare the differences.RESULTS:
Of the 355 patients who were diagnosed with HPV-related OPSCC, 113 constituted the elderly group. Comparing the elderly group with the younger group, the 3-year HPV-positive overall survival (OS) rates were 62.4% and 70.2%, respectively, and the 5-year OS rates were 50.4% and 59.2%, respectively. Cox regression analysis demonstrated that tumor (T) stage and chemotherapy were prognostic factors for OS.CONCLUSION:
Elderly patients with OPSCC had different clinicopathological characteristics. T stage and chemotherapy should be priorities when evaluating the OS of elderly patients with OPSCC.Palabras clave
