OBJECTIVE: @entity1082 ), particularly @entity1799 , is a causative agent for 25% of head and neck @entity1544 , including @entity1544 ( @entity1544 ). HPV-positive (HPV+ve) @entity1 , particularly those with oropharyngeal SCC, have improved prognosis. For @entity1544 @entity1 , this remains to be established. The goal was to determine stage and survival outcomes in @entity1544 in the context of @entity1083 . STUDY DESIGN: Historical cohort study. SETTING: Primary care academic health system. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: In 79 @entity1 with primary @entity1544 , HPV was determined using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.   (2) or Fisher exact test was used to test the association of HPV+ve with 21 risk factors including race, stage, gender, age, smoking, @entity167 , treatment, and health insurance. Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests were used to study the association of HPV and @entity1544 survival outcome. RESULTS: @entity1799 was detected in 27% of @entity1544 @entity1 . Caucasian American (CA) @entity1 had higher HPV prevalence (33%) than did African American (AA) @entity1544 @entity1 (16%; P = .058). HPV was significantly associated with gender (P = .016) and insurance type (P = .001). There were no differences in survival between HPV+ve and HPV-negative (HPV-ve) @entity1 . There was no association with HPV and other risk factors including stage (early vs late). CONCLUSION: We found a high prevalence of HPV in @entity1 and a lower prevalence of @entity1083 in AA compared with CA. Despite the strikingly better survival of @entity1 with HPV+ve @entity5 , even when adjusted for smoking, this correlation does not seem to hold true in the larynx. Larger multiethnic @entity1544 cohorts are needed to more clearly delineate HPV-related survival across ethnicities.
