Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The incidence of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) has increased in the period from the 1970s to 2004, due to increase of infection with human papilloma virus (HPV). This study aimed to examine the role of histogram analysis of the ADC in treatment response and survival prediction of patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma and known human papillomavirus status. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a retrospective single-center study. Following inclusion and exclusion criteria, data for 59 patients affected by T2-T4 (according to the 8th edition of the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual) oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma were retrieved. Twenty-eight had human papillomavirus-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, while 31 had human papillomavirus-negative oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. All patients underwent a pretreatment MR imaging. Histogram analysis of ADC maps obtained by DWI (b = 0-1000 mm/s2) was performed on the central section of all of tumors. The minimum follow-up period was 2 years. Histogram ADC parameters were associated with progression-free survival and overall survival. Univariable and multivariable Cox models were applied to the data; P values were corrected using the Benjamini-Hochberg method. RESULTS: At univariable analysis, both human papillomavirus status and mean ADC were associated with progression-free survival (hazard ratio = 0.267, P < .05, and hazard ratio = 1.0028, P ≤ .05, respectively), while only human papillomavirus status was associated with overall survival (hazard ratio = 0.213, P ≤ .05) before correction. At multivariable analysis, no parameter was included (in fact, human papillomavirus status lost significance after correction). If we separated the patients into 2 subgroups according to human papillomavirus status, ADC entropy was associated with overall survival in the human papillomavirus-negative group (hazard ratio = 4.846, P = .01). CONCLUSIONS: ADC and human papillomavirus status are related to progression-free survival in patients treated with chemoradiation for advanced oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma; however, this association seems to result from the strong association between ADC and human papillomavirus status.
