This cohort study included 1002 patients, comprising 821 males (81.9%) and 181 females (18.1%), with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), at two medical centers in Beijing and Shanghai from 2010 to 2024. Human papillomavirus (HPV) status was assessed using p16 immunohistochemistry. The p16-positivity rate increased from 43.8% to 68.4%, reaching 57.5% overall. The proportion of p16-positive cases was significantly higher in southern China (65% vs. 51.4%) and females (83.4% vs. 51.8%) compared to northern China and males, respectively (p < 0.001). Although p16-positive cases were more frequently observed in urban areas (61% vs. 44.7%, p < 0.001), rural areas saw a significant increase from 8.3% to 62.2%. Regardless of p16 status, southern patients were generally older, had more tonsil lesions, and were at earlier stages than northern patients. p16-positive OPSCCs were more prevalent in younger individuals, with early-stage disease occurring more frequently in the tonsil compared to p16-negative ones (73.1% vs. 41.1%, p < 0.001). Recently, the burden has shifted to older men. p16-negative OPSCCs were more common in non-tonsillar regions among male smokers or drinkers. From 2010 to 2024, the p16-positive rate in tonsillar cancers increased from 48.4% to 79%, while the proportion among non-tonsil OPSCCs remained stable in males but increased significantly in females (33.3% to 80%). A substantial proportion of OPSCC cases is caused by HPV, with an increasing trend, especially in the south, underscoring the importance of vaccination programs in China.</p>","PeriodicalId":180,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cancer","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145273190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This expert consensus from the Institut Curie Breast Radiotherapy Group focuses exclusively on modern systemic agents, synthesizing current evidence on the concurrent administration of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-targeted agents (trastuzumab, pertuzumab, trastuzumab emtansine, trastuzumab deruxtecan), cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitors (palbociclib, ribociclib), immunotherapies (pembrolizumab), poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (olaparib), and new antibody-drug conjugates (sacituzumab govitecan). Drawing from extensive clinical experience, including retrospective and prospective studies conducted at Institut Curie, this review provides a comprehensive analysis of the feasibility and safety of these novel combinations, ensuring an evidence-based approach to optimizing breast cancer treatment strategies. In addition to systemic therapy considerations, this review highlights the importance of advanced RT techniques, including proton therapy, isocentric lateral decubitus positioning, and volumetric modulated arc therapy with deep inspiration breath hold, which play a crucial role in minimizing cardiac and pulmonary toxicities, particularly in patients receiving cardiotoxic agents or those with predisposing risk factors. By integrating both systemic advancements and optimized radiation delivery, this review provides a practical framework for the safe and effective combination of modern breast cancer therapies.</p>","PeriodicalId":180,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cancer","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145273182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
