About this study
Based on the evidence summarized in the introduction, the clinician hypothesize that the detection of the presence and expression of HPV-DNA, certain miRNAs, and a certain mutational profile in the tissues and biological fluids of these patients, may have important prognostic and diagnostic value not only in HPV-related OPSCCs but also in HPV+ occult T. Accordingly, this study aims to aim to better characterize their potential as biomarkers and to detect the possibility of their their use to implement the sensitivity and specificity of radiological methodologies (PET-CT and MRI), already in use in clinical practice, for monitoring disease progression in this specific subgroup. Finally, by using the collected material to generate organoids and Patient Derived Xenograft (PDX), the study also aims to identify possible new molecular drugs, which could solve the problem of resistance to radiochemotherapy.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Study of Viral BIOmarkers and microRNAs in Tumors OrofarynxDiagnostic test
The prospective observational study involves the collection of tissue, blood and saliva samples from OPSCC and occult T patients for detection of HPV-DNA/RNA, miRNA and mutation profile from DNA with centralized analysis of samples at IRCCS Regina Elena National Cancer Institute.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | High miR value Receives: Diagnostic Test: Study of Viral BIOmarkers and microRNAs in Tumors Orofarynx | |
| Group 2 | Control group Receives: Diagnostic Test: Study of Viral BIOmarkers and microRNAs in Tumors Orofarynx |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Accouracy
Investigating the kinetics of HPV-DNA and miRNAs in patients with oropharyngeal and occult T tumors with laterocervical metastasis. Conducting this study will allow us to collect the information needed to be able to generate hypotheses and design a subsequent larger study.
Measured: Baseline
