| Abstract |
Background This study provides Australian data on the characteristics of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal cancer (OSCC) over the last two decades. Methods The HPV status of 515 OSCC diagnosed between 1987-2010 was determined by HPV E6-targeted multiplex PCR and p16 immunohistochemistry. Results The HPV positivity rate increased from 20.2% (1987-1995) to 63.5% (2006-2010). Among HPV-positive OSCC over the study period, the median age increased from 55.4 years to 59.8 years (p=0.004) and there was a trend of an increasing proportion of never smoker (19.2% to 34.0%). The use of radiation therapy in patients with HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer increased from 26.9% to 68.1% (p=0.007) and we also observed a trend of improved outcomes. Conclusions Our data show a rising prevalence of HPV-positive OSCC in Australia over the last two decades. These patients with HPV-positive OSCC are now presenting at an older age and about one third have never smoked. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 70. 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 10 February 2018.
All research outputs
#578,469
of 24,558,777 outputs
Outputs from Head & Neck
#4
of 3,887 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#6,487
of 268,690 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Head & Neck
#1
of 176 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,558,777 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 97th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,887 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.7. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its peers.
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 268,690 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 176 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 99% of its contemporaries.
