Behavioral Risk Factors and Seroprevalence for Human Papillomavirus in Sinonasal Carcinoma: A Multi‐Institutional Case–Control Study
HPV-SNC exhibits distinct serologic features without clear behavioral risk factors. The protective association of tonsillectomy suggests lymphoid tissue may play a role in HPV-associated sinonasal oncogenesis. In contrast, the absence of identifiable risk factors for HPV-independent SNC highlights the need for further etiologic studies.
