abstract = {To determine the sensitivity and specificity of HPV16
serology as diagnostic marker for HPV16-driven oropharyngeal
squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), 214 HNSCC patients from
Germany and Italy with fresh-frozen tumor tissues and sera
collected before treatment were included in this study.
Hundred and twenty cancer cases were from the oropharynx and
94 were from head and neck cancer regions outside the
oropharynx (45 oral cavity, 12 hypopharynx and 35 larynx).
Serum antibodies to early (E1, E2, E6 and E7) and late (L1)
HPV16 proteins were analyzed by multiplex serology and were
compared to tumor HPV RNA status as the gold standard. A
tumor was defined as HPV-driven in the presence of HPV16 DNA
and HPV16 transformation-specific RNA transcript patterns
(E6*I, E1(∧) E4 and E1C). Of 120 OPSCC, 66 $(55\%)$ were
HPV16-driven. HPV16 E6 seropositivity was the best predictor
of HPV16-driven OPSCC (diagnostic accuracy $97\%$ $[95\%CI$
$92-99\%],$ Cohen's kappa 0.93 $[95\%CI$ 0.8-1.0]). Of the
66 HPV-driven OPSCC, 63 were HPV16 E6 seropositive, compared
to only one $(1.8\%)$ among the 54 non-HPV-driven OPSCC,
resulting in a sensitivity of $96\%$ $(95\%CI$ 88-98) and a
specificity of $98\%$ $(95\%CI$ 90-100). Of 94 HNSCC outside
the oropharynx, six $(6\%)$ were HPV16-driven. In these
patients, HPV16 E6 seropositivity had lower sensitivity
$(50\%,$ $95\%CI$ 19-81), but was highly specific $(100\%,$
$95\%CI$ 96-100). In conclusion, HPV16 E6 seropositivity
appears to be a highly reliable diagnostic marker for
HPV16-driven OPSCC with very high sensitivity and
specificity, but might be less sensitive for HPV16-driven
HNSCC outside the oropharynx.},
