Prognostic Significance of a Scoring System Combining p16, Smoking, and Drinking Status in a Series of 131 Patients with Oropharyngeal Cancers

Figure 3

Evaluation of the prognostic performance of a score combining p16 and tobacco/alcohol habits in OSCC patients. Patients with a low score (p16+, no tobacco, no alcohol, n = 36) have a significantly longer RFS (HR: 3.1, 95% CI: 1.3–7.0) as well as a better OS (HR: 6.6, 95% CI: 2.3–18.4) than patients with a high score (p16−, tobacco, alcohol, n = 87).
