Abstract

Background: This study compares the oncological outcomes of primary transoral surgery (TOS) and primary radiotherapy (RT) in elderly patients with HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC).

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients with cT1-2 HPV-related OPSCC from the National Cancer Database (NCDB).

Results: A total of 2566 patients were included, with 73.9% receiving primary RT and 22.3% undergoing primary TOS. Subgroup analysis showed a higher 5-year overall survival (OS) rate for primary TOS (81.6%; 95% CI: 79.6%-83.6%) compared to primary RT (70.7%; 95% CI: 68.3%-73.1%), with an adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 0.64 (95% CI: 0.50-0.81; p < 0.001) after propensity score matching. Notably, only (13.6%) of patients diagnosed in 2020 underwent primary TOS, with a significant decline over the study period.

Conclusions: This study suggests that primary TOS may offer better survival outcomes for elderly patients with HPV-related OPSCC compared to primary RT.
