Age‐Related Risk Stratification in <scp>HPV</scp> ‐Positive Oropharyngeal Cancer: Implications for Treatment De‐Intensification
This study developed a risk stratification model for patients with p16-positive OPC based on the AJCC eighth edition staging and age. Patients in the extremely low-risk group may derive limited benefit from concurrent chemotherapy, suggesting that its omission could be considered in selected patients and may help guide the design of future de-escalation trials.
