Abstract

Background. Patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) have a better survival than HPV-negative OPSCC. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET-CT) may also provide prognostic information. We evaluated glycolytic characteristics in HPV-negative and HPV-positive OPSCC. Methods. Forty-four patients underwent pretreatment 18F-FDG-PET-CT. Standardized Uptake Values (SUV) and metabolic active tumor volume (MATV) were determined for primary tumors. HPV-status was determined with p16 immunostaining, followed by high-risk HPV DNA detection on the positive cases. Results. Twenty-seven patients were HPV-positive (61.4%). Median MATV was 2.8 millilitres (ml) [1.6-5.1] for HPV-positive and 6.0 ml [4.4-18.7] for HPV-negative tumors (p<0.001). SUV-values are volume dependent (partial volume effect), therefore, MATV was included as covariate in multivariate analysis. The maximum SUV in HPV-positive was 3.9 units lower than in HPV-negative tumors (p=0.01). Conclusions. 18F-FDG-PET-CT parameters are lower in HPV-positive than in HPV-negative patients. Low pretreatment SUV-values in HPV-positive OPSCC may be at least partly explained by HPV-induced tumor changes. Head Neck, 2014.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 October 2014.
All research outputs
#16,626,022
of 24,458,924 outputs
Outputs from Head & Neck
#1,965
of 3,881 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#161,524
of 271,167 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Head & Neck
#34
of 120 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,458,924 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,881 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.7. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 271,167 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 120 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% of its contemporaries.
