Abstract

Head and neck cancer (HNC) accounted for 4% of all malignancies in 2022 and is often associated with tobacco and alcohol use, but the incidence of human papillomavirus (HPV)–associated HNC has steadily increased in recent decades. Unlike HPV-negative HNC, HPV-positive HNC has a favorable prognosis and survival is significantly better resulting in a large population of HNC survivors. Survivorship for HNC is of the utmost importance as there is a high burden of side effects that impact function and quality of life, and the patients with HPV HNC are living longer with the sequelae of their treatment.
