J Infect Dis 2023; 228:1137-1145. [PMID: 37506267 DOI: 10.1093/infdis/jiad295] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The etiologic link between human papillomavirus (HPV) and lung cancer is still controversial. METHODS PubMed and Cochrane databases were searched from inception to December 2020 to identify studies on the infection of HPV in lung cancer. We calculated the attributable proportion of HPV in lung cancer by pooling the infection of cases positive for both HPV DNA and biomarkers of carcinogenesis that may be induced by HPV (E6/E7 messenger RNA or p16INK4a). RESULTS A total of 117 studies, comprising data of 12 616 lung cancer cases from 22 countries across 5 continents, were included. The overall HPV DNA positivity in primary lung cancer cases worldwide was 16.4% (95% confidence interval, 12.7%-20.5%). HPV DNA positivity of lung cancer varied significantly by pathological type and geographic region. Notably, the expression rate of p16INK4a is significantly higher than the positivity of HPV DNA and of HPV E6/E7 mRNA (P < .05). The estimate of HPV attributable proportion defined by expression of E6/E7 mRNA was 0 and of p16INK4a was 7.3%. CONCLUSIONS The data in this systematic review is robust enough to contradict the possible participation of HPV in lung cancer carcinogenesis. Prophylactic vaccines targeting HPV cannot have the potential to prevent lung cancer.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women, and cytopathological images are often used to screen for this cancer. However, manual examination is very troublesome and the misdiagnosis rate is high. In addition, cervical cancer nest cells are denser and more complex, with high overlap and opacity, increasing the difficulty of identification. The appearance of the computer aided automatic diagnosis system solves this problem. In this paper, a weakly supervised cervical cancer nest image identification approach using Conjugated Attention Mechanism and Visual Transformer (CAM-VT), which can analyze pap slides quickly and accurately. CAM-VT proposes conjugated attention mechanism and visual transformer modules for local and global feature extraction respectively, and then designs an ensemble learning module to further improve the identification capability. In order to determine a reasonable interpretation, comparative experiments are conducted on our datasets. The average accuracy of the validation set of three repeated experiments using CAM-VT framework is 88.92%, which is higher than the optimal result of 22 well-known deep learning models. Moreover, we conduct ablation experiments and extended experiments on Hematoxylin and Eosin stained gastric histopathological image datasets to verify the ability and generalization ability of the framework. Finally, the top 5 and top 10 positive probability values of cervical nests are 97.36% and 96.84%, which have important clinical and practical significance. The experimental results show that the proposed CAM-VT framework has excellent performance in potential cervical cancer nest image identification tasks for practical clinical work.

Expression, Prognostic Value and Correlation with HPV Status of Hypoxia-Induced Markers in Sinonasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma. J Pers Med 2023; 13:jpm13050767. [PMID: 37240937 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13050767] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: In head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, tumor hypoxia has been associated with radio/chemoresistance and poor prognosis, whereas human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive status has a positive impact on treatment response and survival outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression and the potential prognostic value of hypoxia-induced endogenous markers in patients treated for squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses (SNSCC), and their correlation with HPV status. (2) Methods: In this monocentric study, patients treated in a curative intent for a SNSCC were screened retrospectively. Protein expression of CA-IX, GLUT-1, VEGF, VEGF-R1, and HIF-1α was determined by immunohistochemical staining, scored, and then correlated with overall survival (OS) and locoregional recurrence free survival (LRRFS). HPV status was assessed and correlated with hypoxic markers. (3) Results: 40 patients were included. A strong expression of CA-IX, GLUT-1, VEGF, and VEGF-R1 was detected in 30%, 32.5%, 50%, and 37.5% of cases, respectively. HIF-1α was detected in 27.5% of cases. High CA-IX expression was associated in univariate analysis with poor OS (p = 0.035), but there was no significant association between GLUT-1, VEGF, VEGF-R1, and HIF-1α expression, and OS/LRRFS. There was no correlation found between HPV status and hypoxia-induced endogenous markers (all p > 0.05). (4) Conclusions: This study provides data on the expression of hypoxia-induced endogenous markers in patients treated for SNSCC and underlines the potential role of CA-IX as a prognostic biomarker for SNSCC.

Abstract
Sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis. Human papilloma virus (HPV) can induce SNSCC although its incidence and impact on patients’ outcomes remains unclear. We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients with SNSCC treated consecutively in a comprehensive cancer center. HPV status was determined with p16 immunohistochemistry followed by RNA in situ hybridization (RNAscope). The incidence, clinical characteristics, and oncologic outcomes of HPV+SNSCC were assessed. P16 prognostic value was evaluated. Fifty-nine patients were included. Eleven (18.6%) SNSCC were p16+ with five (8.4%) doubtful cases. RNAscope was positive in nine cases (15.2%). Patients with HPV+SNSCC were younger (p = 0.0298) with a primary tumor originating mainly in nasal fossa (p < 10−4). Pathologic findings were not different according to HPV status. Among patients who were curatively treated, overall survival was better for HPV+SNSCC (p = 0.022). No prognostic value of p16 expression was reported. Patients with HPV+SNSCC have better oncologic outcomes, probably due to earlier tumor stage with primary location predominantly in the nasal fossa, a more suitable epicenter to perform a surgical resection with clear margins. P16 expression seems not to be a good surrogate of HPV status in SNSCC.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) techniques in oropharyngeal cancer. PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library and clinicaltrials.org were systematically searched for studies reporting methods of HPV detection. Primary outcomes were sensitivity and specificity of HPV detection. In this case, 27 studies were included (n = 5488, 41.6% HPV+). In this case, 13 studies evaluated HPV detection in tumour tissue, nine studies examined HPV detection in blood samples and five studies evaluated HPV detection in oral samples. Accuracy of HPV detection in tumour tissue was high for all detection methods, with pooled sensitivity ranging from 81.1% (95% CI 71.9-87.8) to 93.1% (95% CI 87.4-96.4) and specificity ranging from 81.1% (95% CI 71.9-87.8) to 94.9% (95% CI 79.1-98.9) depending on detection methods. Overall accuracy of HPV detection in blood samples revealed a sensitivity of 81.4% (95% CI 62.9-91.9) and a specificity of 94.8% (95% CI 91.4-96.9). In oral samples pooled sensitivity and specificity were lower (77.0% (95% CI 68.8-83.6) and 74.0% (95% CI 58.0-85.4)). In conclusion, we found an overall high accuracy for HPV detection in tumour tissue regardless of the HPV detection method used. HPV detection in blood samples may provide a promising new way of HPV detection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a risk factor for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), which is currently increasing worldwide. We evaluated the prevalence of HPV DNA and p16 expression in HNSCC patients age <45 years compared with patients aged ≥45 years. METHODS Thirty-nine patients aged <45 years who presented at Besançon University Hospital with HNSCC since 2005 were included in this retrospective study. HPV DNA was detected by HPV genotyping and p16 expression was determined by immunohistochemistry using paraffin-embedded tissues. A matched-group of 38 patients aged ≥45 years from Besançon University Hospital was included. RESULTS The overall prevalence of HPV infection was 11.7%. HPV16 was the only genotype detected in 4/39 and 5/38 patients, and p16 was expressed in 6/39 and 4/38 patients aged <45 years and ≥45 years, respectively. CONCLUSIONS HPV-positivity and p16 expression were similar in both age groups. The results suggest that p16 immunohistochemistry may provide a prognosis biomarker for all HNSCCs, not only oropharyngeal cancers, and this should be addressed in large clinical trials.

Abstract
Early studies estimate that 5% to 10% of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas overexpress p16 but are unassociated with transcriptionally-active high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV). Patients with discordant HPV testing may experience clinical outcomes that differ from traditional expectations. To document the rate of p16 and HPV mRNA positivity, characterize patients with discordant testing, and identify features that may warrant selective use of HPV-specific testing after p16 IHC, a multi-institutional, retrospective review of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma patients with p16 IHC and HPV mRNA testing by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction was performed. Of the 467 patients, most had T1 or T2 tumors (71%), 82% were p16 positive, and 84% were HPV mRNA positive. Overall, most tumors were nonkeratinizing (378, 81%), which was strongly associated with p16 and HPV positivity (93% and 95%, respectively). Overall, 81% of patients were double positive, 14% double negative, and 4.9% discordant (3.4% p16 negative/HPV mRNA positive and 1.5% p16 positive/HPV mRNA negative). The survival rates of these discordant patient groups fell squarely between the 2 concordant groups, although in multivariate analysis for both disease-free survival and overall survival, discordant patients were not found to have statistically significantly different outcomes. Reclassifying patients by applying HPV mRNA testing when p16 results and morphology do not match, or when p16 results are equivocal, improved prognostication slightly over p16 or HPV mRNA testing alone. Patients with discordant testing demonstrate a borderline significant trend toward survival differences from those with concordant tests. When evaluated independently, patients who were p16 negative but HPV mRNA positive had a prognosis somewhat closer to double-positive patients, while those who were p16 positive, but HPV mRNA negative had a prognosis closer to that of double-negative patients. We suggest an algorithm whereby confirmatory HPV mRNA testing is performed in patients where p16 status is not consistent with tumor morphology. This captures a majority of discordant patients and improves, albeit modestly, the prognostication.

Abstract
PURPOSE Human papillomavirus (HPV) in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is tumorigenic and has been associated with a favorable prognosis compared with OPSCC caused by tobacco, alcohol, and other carcinogens. Meanwhile, machine learning has evolved as a powerful tool to predict molecular and cellular alterations of medical images of various sources. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We generated a deep learning-based HPV prediction score (HPV-ps) on regular hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stains and assessed its performance to predict HPV association using 273 patients from two different sites (OPSCC; Giessen, n = 163; Cologne, n = 110). Then, the prognostic relevance in a total of 594 patients (Giessen, Cologne, HNSCC TCGA) was evaluated. In addition, we investigated whether four board-certified pathologists could identify HPV association (n = 152) and compared the results to the classifier. RESULTS Although pathologists were able to diagnose HPV association from H&E-stained slides (AUC = 0.74, median of four observers), the interrater reliability was minimal (Light Kappa = 0.37; P = 0.129), as compared with AUC = 0.8 using the HPV-ps within two independent cohorts (n = 273). The HPV-ps identified individuals with a favorable prognosis in a total of 594 patients from three cohorts (Giessen, OPSCC, HR = 0.55, P < 0.0001; Cologne, OPSCC, HR = 0.44, P = 0.0027; TCGA, non-OPSCC head and neck, HR = 0.69, P = 0.0073). Interestingly, the HPV-ps further stratified patients when combined with p16 status (Giessen, HR = 0.06, P < 0.0001; Cologne, HR = 0.3, P = 0.046). CONCLUSIONS Detection of HPV association in OPSCC using deep learning with help of regular H&E stains may either be used as a single biomarker, or in combination with p16 status, to identify patients with OPSCC with a favorable prognosis, potentially outperforming combined HPV-DNA/p16 status as a biomarker for patient stratification.

Feasibility of Immunohistochemical p16 Staining in the Diagnosis of Human Papillomavirus Infection in Patients With Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Front Oncol 2020; 10:524928. [PMID: 33324540 PMCID: PMC7724109 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2020.524928] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2020] [Accepted: 09/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a risk factor for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC). This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of IHC- p16INK4a (p16) as an alternative modality for diagnosing HPV infection. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane library for studies that evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of IHC-p16 staining. A total of 30 studies involving 2,963 patients were included from 2007 to 2019. The combined sensitivity was 0.94 (95% CI: 0.92–0.95); specificity, 0.90 (95% CI: 0.89–0.91); positive likelihood ratio (LR), 6.80 (95% CI: 5.63–8.21); negative LR, 0.10 (95% CI: 0.07–0.16); diagnostic odds ratio, 85.98 (95% CI: 55.57–133.03); and area under the curve value, 0.9550. Subgroup analysis showed that the IHC-p16 test was more consistent with the in situ hybridization (ISH) test and has greater diagnostic value for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. The diagnostic efficacy of IHC-p16 varied among countries. In conclusion, IHC-p16 has high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing HPV infection in HNSCC. The consistency of IHC-p16 findings with those of ISH indicate that their combination can be used to improve the specificity of diagnosis.

[PMID: 33019611 PMCID: PMC7601884 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12102836] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2020] [Revised: 09/25/2020] [Accepted: 09/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JoRRP) is a condition related to HPV 6 and 11 infection which is characterized by the repeated growth of benign exophytic papilloma in the respiratory tract of children. Disease progression is unpredictable leading sometimes to airway compromise and death. The aim of this study was to explore p16INK4a and expression of the RNA of HPV genes E6 and E7 with a chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH) as biomarkers of JoRRP aggressiveness on a bicentric cohort of forty-eight children. CISH was scored semi-quantitatively as high (2+ score) and low (1+ score) levels of transcription of E6 and E7. Patients with a 2+ score had a more aggressive disease compared to those with a 1+ score. These data are a first step towards the use of biomarkers predictive of disease severity in JoRRP, this could improve the disease management, for example, by implementing adjuvant treatment at the early stages. Abstract Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JoRRP) is a condition related to HPV 6 and 11 infection which is characterized by the repeated growth of benign exophytic papilloma in the respiratory tract. Disease progression is unpredictable: some children experience minor symptoms, while others require multiple interventions due to florid growth. The aim of this study was to explore the biomarkers of JoRRP severity on a bicentric cohort of forty-eight children. We performed a CISH on the most recent sample of papilloma with a probe targeting the mRNA of the E6 and E7 genes of HPV 6 and 11 and an immunostaining with p16INK4a antibody. For each patient HPV RNA CISH staining was assessed semi-quantitatively to define two scores: 1+, defined as a low staining extent, and 2+, defined as a high staining extent. This series contained 19 patients with a score of 1+ and 29 with a score of 2+. Patients with a score of 2+ had a median of surgical excision (SE) per year that was twice that of patients with a score of 1+ (respectively 6.1 versus 2.8, p = 0.036). We found similar results with the median number of SE the first year. Regarding p16INK4a, all patients were negative. To conclude, HPV RNA CISH might be a biomarker which is predictive of disease aggressiveness in JoRRP, and might help in patient care management.

Abstract
Besides classic tobacco and alcohol risk factors, human papillomavirus (HPV) plays a role in the development of a subset of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs), and notably oropharynx squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCCs). HPV-induced OPSCCs have a different biological behavior and a better prognosis compared to non-HPV-induced OPSCCs and the eighth-edition TNM classification now separates these two entities. Therefore, determining the HPV status of patients with OPSCC is now essential for treatment, prognosis, and development of clinical trials. In this review, after reminding essential steps of HPV implication in the cell cycle, we describe the existing tools that are currently feasible in routine practice according to facilities available in health structures, with their benefits and drawbacks: HPV PCR, E6/E7 mRNA RT-PCR, E6/E7 mRNA in situ hybridization, HPV DNA in situ hybridization, and P16 immunochemistry. Besides these traditional HPV detection tools, novel diagnostic approaches are being evaluated for HPV-induced OPSCC “ultrastaging.” E6 humoral response and ddPCR-detecting HPVct DNA are two techniques performed on blood and are therefore non-invasive. Baseline E6 humoral levels could have a prognostic value, and HPVct DNA could be helpful for HPV OPSCC recurrence monitoring. At last, next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based “capture HPV” is a technique feasible on biopsies and circulating DNA material. It helps characterize HPV integration status and sites, and it could define prognostic subgroups in HPV-induced OPSCC. These novel precision detection tools could be further integrated in the care of patients with HPV-induced OPSCC.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) has become a critical prognostic biomarker in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). While retrospective studies suggest that p16 immunohistochemistry and even HPV RNA in situ hybridization work well on tissues and tumors from a variety of labs and various fixation conditions, no formal study of fixation conditions has been performed to date. We took surgically resected specimens from three p16 and HPV RNA in situ hybridization positive OPSCC patients, divided their fresh tumors into small pieces, and varied the time to formalin fixation as 1, 3, 6, 24, and 48 h. Tumors were either held moistened at room temperature or were refrigerated. After fixation and processing, routine hematoxylin and eosin slides were generated and p16 immunohistochemistry and RNA in situ hybridization performed. All three tumors were nonkeratinizing and had strong and diffuse p16 expression at immediate fixation, which, surprisingly, remained positive for all fixation times and conditions and despite significant degeneration at the later points for two of the patients while for one, the nuclear signal dropped out of most cells at early and mid time points, particularly at room temperature, causing false negatives. HPV RNA in situ hybridization stayed positive in all specimens up to 48 h of cold ischemic time refrigerated and even at room temperature, except for overtly autolyzed tumor regions. These findings help to establish that, at least for standard nonkeratinizing, p16 and HPV RNA strongly positive OPSCC patients, and using the most common tests in clinical practice, relatively lenient time to fixation may be acceptable if it cannot be avoided. However, for some patients, p16 immunohistochemistry may be sensitive to signal loss with autolysis. HPV RNA in situ hybridization, in particular, seems remarkably resistant to pretest cold ischemic times.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The current diagnostic standard for detection of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma is via a two-stage algorithm, namely p16 immunohistochemistry followed by HPV DNA in situ hybridization in p16 positive cases. This study evaluated the feasibility of automated RNA in situ hybridization on a clinical platform as a single-step alternative to the two-stage algorithm within a routine diagnostic histopathology setting. METHODS Thirty-eight cases positive for both p16 and DNA in situ hybridization, 42 p16 negative cases and 20 cases positive for p16 but negative for DNA in situ hybridization were randomly selected. High-risk HPV RNA in situ hybridization was undertaken on all cases on an automated clinical platform. Manufacturer-recommended and on-slide additional p16/HPV positive and negative controls were used. Test quality assurance and diagnostic RNA in situ hybridization were independently assessed by two observers. A consensus diagnosis was reached in the presence of a third observer on discordant cases. All RNA in situ hybridization results were then correlated against p16 and DNA ISH status. RESULTS Inter-slide RNA in situ hybridization staining variation was observed in control sections. RNA in situ hybridization demonstrated a high inter-observer agreement rate (κ = .897, P < .001). Following consensus review, there was full concordance between RNA in situ hybridization and the current standard. CONCLUSION Human papillomavirus testing by standalone automated RNA in situ hybridization on a clinical diagnostic platform currently available in routine diagnostic histopathology laboratories is a feasible alternative to the two-step algorithm of p16 and DNA in situ hybridization. Control tissue staining procedures need to be adapted to achieve the most accurate results.

Abstract
Background The International Endocervical Adenocarcinoma Criteria and Classification (IECC) separated endocervical adenocarcinomas into human papillomavirus (HPV) associated (HPVA) and non–HPV-associated (NHPVA) categories by morphology alone. Our primary objective was to assess the accuracy of HPV prediction by the IECC system compared to p16 immunohistochemistry and HPV RNA in-situ hybridization (RISH). Our secondary goal was to directly compare p16 and HPV RISH concordance. Methods Cases were classified by IECC and stained for p16 and HPV RISH on tissue microarray, with discordant p16/HPV RISH cases re-stained on whole tissue sections. Remaining discordant cases (p16/HPV, IECC/p16, IECC/HPV discordances) were re-reviewed by the original pathologists (n = 3) and external expert pathologists (n = 2) blinded to the p16 and HPV RISH results. Final IECC diagnosis was assigned upon independent agreement between all reviewers. Results One hundred and eleven endocervical adenocarcinomas were classified originally into 94 HPVA and 17 NHPVA cases. p16 and HPV RISH was concordant in 108/111 cases (97%) independent of the IECC. HPV RISH and p16 was concordant with IECC in 103/111 (93%) and 106/111 (95%), respectively. After expert review, concordance improved to 107/111 (96%) for HPV RISH. After review of the eight discordant cases, one remained as HPVA, four were reclassified to NHPVA from HPVA, two were unclassifiable, and one possibly represented a mixed usual and gastric-type adenocarcinoma. Conclusions p16 and HPV RISH have excellent concordance in endocervical adenocarcinomas, and IECC can predict HPV status in most cases. Focal apical mitoses and apoptotic debris on original review led to the misclassification of several NHPVA as HPVA.

Early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in a western series is not associated with active HPV infection. Virchows Arch 2020; 477:697-704. [PMID: 32524184 DOI: 10.1007/s00428-020-02860-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2020] [Revised: 05/26/2020] [Accepted: 05/28/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
Few data are available concerning human papillomavirus (HPV) in early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Western population. Our study intended to determine the prevalence of HPV infection and the histological characteristics in such early tumors. A monocentric and retrospective study was conducted including 86 patients with early ESCC treated by endoscopic resection or esophagectomy, from 2012 to 2018. Histopathological prognostic criteria were evaluated. Immunohistochemistry for p16 and p53 and an HPV mRNA in situ hybridization were performed. The tumors were composed of 25 (29%) in situ carcinomas, 21 (24%) intramucosal carcinomas, and 40 (47%) submucosal carcinomas, of which 34 had a deep infiltration (> 200 μm). Emboli, present in 12 cases, were associated with deep infiltration. P16-positive ESCC accounted for 21% of the patients. It was not correlated with active HPV infection as no cases were found to be positive in RISH analysis for RNA detection of this virus. However, there was a correlation between p16 expression and alcohol or tobacco consumption. The only histopathological criterion correlated with p16 positivity was marked inflammatory infiltrate. Local or distant neoplastic recurrence occurred in 25% of patients. Overall survival was 95.8% and local or metastatic recurrence-free survival was 75%. There was a correlation between positive resection margins and tumor recurrence. In contrast to oropharynx carcinoma, our study showed that ESCC were not associated with an active HPV infection, highlighting the negligible role of this virus in early ESCC carcinogenesis in the Western world.

Abstract
A proliferative cauliflower lesion was excised from the udder of a sheep. Histological investigation confirmed the macroscopic classification of the lesion as a papilloma, without any fibroblastic proliferation. PCR revealed the presence of bovine papillomavirus (BPV), which was further confirmed by the identification of a Deltapapillomavirus4 by Next Generation Sequencing analysis. This was subsequently classified as bovine papillomavirus type 1. Negative staining electron microscopy (EM) analyses produced negative test results for papillomavirus particles. RNA in situ hybridization (ISH) confirmed the presence of BPV-1. The results further confirm the ability of BPVs belonging to the Deltapapillomavirus genus to infect distantly related species and to cause lesions that are different from sarcoids.

Abstract
The oropharynx has become the leading primary site for Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)-associated head and neck cancer. HPV positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV+ OSCC) has emerged as an epidemic not easily recognized by many physicians, resulting in delays in diagnosis and management. HPV+ OSCC traditionally refers to younger, healthier patients with high economic status and high-risk sexual behavior and is related to improved prognosis. De-intensification strategies are being evaluated in ongoing clinical trials and if validated, might help spare severe morbidity associated with current cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy, which is the standard of care for all patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer. On the other hand, whether HPV status represents an important prognostic factor for non-oropharyngeal sites remains to be elucidated.

Abstract
High risk human papillomavirus (HPV) has transformed head and neck oncology in the past several decades. Now that we have recognized that HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is a unique cancer type with distinct clinicopathologic features and favorable prognosis, it has become essential to test patients in routine practice. We have progressed greatly in our knowledge of this disease and gone, over the past two to three decades, from doing testing in highly variable amounts and methods to, now, with the help of national and international guidelines and patient staging requirements, to a situation where almost all patients with OPSCC are getting accurate classification through at least p16 immunohistochemistry. However, we are still struggling with how to accurately test specimens from cervical lymph nodes, and, in particular, on fine needle aspiration. In addition, many patients with non-oropharyngeal SCC are getting clinically unnecessary p16 and/or HPV-specific testing. The trends suggest progressive improvement in practices, but many practical questions still remain. On the horizon are myriad non-tissue-based tests, such as HPV serology and plasma DNA, DNA-based testing of fine needle aspirate fluid, computerized analysis of digitized pathology and radiology images, and machine learning from clinical and pathologic features, that may render pathologists largely obsolete for establishing HPV status for our patients' tumors. This review takes a brief look back in time to where we have been, then characterizes current practices in 2020 and lingering questions, and, finally, looks ahead into the possible future of HPV testing in patients with head and neck SCC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION French data about HPV role in head and neck carcinomas are sparse, although French patients are mostly heavy smokers. In this series of oropharyngeal et non-oropharyngeal tumors, we aimed to determine what were the clinicopathological features associated with HPV and evaluate survival of patients according to HPV status. METHODS Three hundred and seventy-two cases of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas were reviewed and clinicopathological data were detailed. For each case, we performed a HPV PCR and an immunostaining against p16 protein (paraffin embedded tissues). RESULTS The series contained 90% of heavy smokers and 36% of tumors were located in oropharynx. HPV DNA was detected in 46% of oropharyngeal carcinomas and 16% of non-oropharyngeal carcinomas. Genotype 16 was the most frequently detected (84%). Clinicopathological features significantly associated with HPV DNA were: oropharyngeal location; absence of tobacco smoking; nodal involvement; poorly-differentiated non-keratinizing histology; positive p16 immunostaining. HPV infection was significantly associated with a longer survival for oropharyngeal carcinomas. It was not the case for non-oropharyngeal carcinomas. CONCLUSION In this French series with lot of heavy smokers, under half of carcinomas are HPV induced. Clinicopathological features and survival data associated with HPV infection are the same as those classically described in literature.

Abstract
Anal squamous cell carcinomas (ASCCs) frequently harbor human papillomavirus (HPV), most commonly high-risk (HR-) HPV type 16. While p16 immunohistochemistry (IHC) is typically used as a surrogate for HR-HPV status in the oropharynx and cervix, its overexpression can also occur as a result of oncogenic stress and sometimes prove nonspecific. There have been recent investigations into the use of HPV RNA in situ hybridization (RISH) assays as an alternative method, which have shown robust results for squamous cell carcinomas of the oropharynx and cervix. Our study evaluated HPV RISH and p16 IHC in 50 ASCCs, as well as the clinicopathologic features of ASCC relative to HPV status. We found that HPV RISH and p16 IHC were closely in agreement with 96% concordance. Using the 2 methodologies, 78% of ASCCs were HR-HPV positive, 10% were low-risk HPV positive, and 12% were HPV-negative. None of our cases showed co-infection across HR-HPV and low-risk HPV. ASCCs that were not related to HR-HPV were more likely to have a typical keratinizing morphology (P=0.05) and more likely to involve the perianal area (P=0.006). HPV-negative cases were particularly aggressive with high rates of metastases and patient death within 2 years of diagnosis. Overall, HPV RISH appears to be a reliable methodology for testing, and HPV status may have implications for prognostication of ASCCs.

Abstract
Anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) is a rare, potentially fatal malignancy primarily caused by high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV). The prognostic implication of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression remains controversial, and glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) expression has never been examined in ASCC. Covalently closed circular RNAs have recently been shown to be widespread in cancers and are proposed to be biomarkers. We discovered HPV16 expresses a circular E7 RNA (circE7) which has not been assessed as a potential biomarker. A retrospective, translational case series at UT Southwestern was conducted to analyze PD-L1, GLUT1, HPV-ISH, and HPV circE7 in relation to the clinical features and overall survival of patients with ASCC. Twenty-two (22) subjects were included in the study. Improved overall survival was predicted by basaloid histology (p= 0.013), PD-L1 expression (p= 0.08), and HPV-ISH positivity (p
& 0.001), but not GLUT1 expression. High levels of circE7 by quantitative RT-PCR predicted improved overall survival in ASCC (p= 0.023) and analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas sequencing from HPV-positive head and neck cancer and cervical cancer suggested high circE7 marked improved survival in 875 subjects (p= 0.074). While our study suggests that circE7 levels correlate with improved survival in ASCC, larger, prospective studies are necessary to confirm the potential role of circE7 as a biomarker.

Comparative Performance of High-Risk Human Papillomavirus RNA and DNA In Situ Hybridization on College of American Pathologists Proficiency Tests. Arch Pathol Lab Med 2019; 144:344-349. [PMID: 31483999 DOI: 10.5858/arpa.2019-0093-cp] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
CONTEXT.— Detection of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) in squamous cell carcinoma is important for classification and prognostication. In situ hybridization (ISH) is a commonly used HR-HPV-specific test that targets viral RNA or DNA. The College of American Pathologists (CAP) provides proficiency testing for laboratories performing HR-HPV ISH. OBJECTIVE.— To compare the analytical performance of RNA- and DNA-based ISH methods on CAP HR-HPV proficiency tests. DESIGN.— Data from the 2016-2018 CAP HPV ISH proficiency testing surveys were reviewed. These surveys consist of well-characterized samples with known status for HR-HPV, including 1 to 2 copies, 50 to 100 copies, 300 to 500 copies, and no copies of HR-HPV per cell. RESULTS.— Ninety-five participants submitted 1268 survey results from 20 cores. Overall, RNA ISH had a significantly higher percentage of correct responses than DNA ISH: 97.4% (450 of 462) versus 80.6% (650 of 806) (P < .001). This disparity appears to be the consequence of a superior sensitivity of RNA ISH compared to DNA ISH for samples with 1 to 2 and with 50 to 100 copies of HR-HPV per cell: 95.2% (120 of 126) versus 53.8% (129 of 240), P < .001, respectively, and 100% (89 of 89) versus 76.3% (119 of 156), P < .001, respectively. CONCLUSIONS.— An assessment of CAP HR-HPV proficiency test performance indicates that RNA ISH shows significantly higher accuracy than DNA ISH owing to higher analytical sensitivity of RNA ISH in tumors with low (1-2 copies per cell) to intermediate (50-100 copies per cell) HR-HPV viral copy numbers. These data support the use of RNA over DNA ISH in clinical laboratories that perform HR-HPV testing as part of their testing algorithms.
