Conclusion

A systematic validation process, as IPDAS, makes it

possible to understand the characteristics and decisional

needs of patients and clinicians, which are specific and

differ among diseases and contexts. This is essential for

implementation of PDAs in the clinical practice.

Spain

Purpose or Objective

To analyze the results [(disease free survival (DFS) and

overall survival (OS)] of patients (pts) with glottic cancer

(GC) treated with hypofractionated radiation therapy

versus standard radiotherapy treatment with radical

intention.

Material and Methods

Retrospective comparative study of 125 pts with GC T1 or

T0is stage (119 pts) and T2 stage (6 pts) treated with

radical intention with radiation therapy in our hospital

from June 1995 to June 2015. Hypofractionated treatment

(2,25 Gy/fraction; total dose 63 Gy) was used in 42 pts and

standard treatment (2 Gy/fraction; total dose 70 Gy) was

used in 83 pts. Baseline characteristic were similar in both

groups. Median total dose of radiotherapy was 66 Gy

(range 63-70). Kaplan-Meier curves have been used for the

statistical analysis of survival and the log-rank test for the

comparison of the survivals. Treatment-related toxicity

was assessed using RTOG and the NCI-Common

Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events guidelines.

Results

The median follow-up was 215 months. The DFS and OS in

hypofractionated group were 97,6% and 93% respectively

and in standard radiotherapy group were 93% and 95,2%

respectively without statistically significant differences.

When we analyzed OS by stage subgroups, we can see that

in T1 or T0is group the results are better (95,8%) than in

T2 group 66,7% (p 0,001) without differences because of

the treatment regimen used. In the analysis according to

the age of the pts, we had the following results in terms

of OS: < 70 years-old pts treated with hypofractionated

treatment (28 pts) were 96,4 % and >70 years-old pts (14

pts) were 100%. The OS in < 70 years-old pts treated with

standard treatment (43 pts) was 93% and in >70 years-old

pts (40 pts) was 92,5% without statistically significant

differences. When we analyze OS according to the anterior

commissure involvement, we haven´t found statistically

significant differences. In both groups the majority of pts

had acute skin and mucosa toxicity grade 1-2 without

statistically significant differences regardless the regimen

of treatment used.

Conclusion

Hypofractionated treatment supposed better local disease

control than standard treatment but in terms of OS there

weren´t any differences. When we analized our pts by

subgroups stage, we found that T2 stage group had worse

results than T1 or T0is stage group in terms of OS (p 0,001)

regardless of treatment used. There weren´t no

differences in terms of toxicity nor local control between

elderly pts and young pts regardless of treatment used

either.

Purpose or Objective

Human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated squamous cell

carcinoma of the oropharynx is a well-defined disease

typically affecting young to middle-aged male non-

smokers. The incidence of HPV-associated oropharyngeal

cancers is rapidly increasing in most Western countries,

but detailed epidemiological data are not available for the

Dusseldorf population. Moreover, among other head and

neck regions, a less significant proportion of oral high-

grade dysplasia and cancers appears to depend on HPV

infection, whereas its role in laryngeal cancer is

recognized as less significant. The aim of this study was to

find out the incidence and clinical outcome of HPV

infection in different head neck cancer patients in a

German population.

Material and Methods

In this retrospective study, the tumour tissue from 164

patients (110 men, 54 women, 62.8 years + 12.7) with

head neck cancer (oropharynx = 65 nasopharynx = 10,

larynx = 13, hypopharynx = 15, oral cavity = 33 CUP = 5,

Other = 23) were tested for HPV infection. Furthermore,

the clinical outcome for all tumor sides was examined with

uni and multivariate analysis. We analyzed p16 in all

tumor tissues as a surrogate marker for HPV infection with

immunohistochemistry. Moreover, risk factors such as

nicotine, alcohol abuse, location of the tumour, resection

margin of the tumour tissue, histology, lymph nodes

involvement, extracapsular spread, tumour stage, and the

treatment of the tumour (surgery, chemo and radiation

therapy) were examined for local tumour control and

overall survival for all patients.

Results

The prevalence of HPV infection in oropharynx-carcinoma

patients in Dusseldorf was 33%. Patients with HPV-positive

oropharyngeal carcinomas showed a tendency towards

longer survival time, (p = 0.76, HR: 2.42, 95% CI 0.91 -

6.44) compared to HPV-negative tumours. This association

was independent from alcohol and nicotine abuse. Other

tumour locations like larynx or hypopharynx carcinoma

showed no association between HPV infection and clinical

outcome. As expected the tumour stage in all tumour

locations was significant in the uni and multivariate

analysis for local control and overall survival.

Conclusion

The HPV infection in Dusseldorf was lower than

anticipated. Furthermore, in our study it seems that p 16

positive oropharyngeal carcinoma patients have a better

clinical outcome than p 16 negative patients. In this

patient group p 16 can be used as a prognostic biomarker.

This was independent from alcohol and nicotine abuse.

But for other tumor localizations we could not find a

better clinical

outcome.
