Abstract:
What's new? Are throat cancers on the rise in Denmark, as in other Western populations? These authors analyzed samples from the Danish Head and Neck Cancer Group, making this the largest non‐selected cohort of tonsillar cancer cases studied to date. They found that during the years 2000–2010, the rate of tonsillar cancer increased, and that HPV could be to blame. The incidence of HPV‐positive cancers rose over the study period, with most of the HPV‐positive cancers harboring HPV‐16. When they classified the tumors by whether they originated in the tonsillar tissue, they found that tumor origin was the strongest predictor of HPV status; specified tonsillar tumors contained HPV more often than those appearing to have originated elsewhere.
