The study subjects were divided into three groups according to HPV genotype: HPV16-positive (n£¿=£¿59), HPV18-positive (n£¿=£¿33), and HPV16/18-negative ICC (non-HPV16/18, n£¿=£¿45). The median follow-up time was 102.5 months (range, 5¨C179). The 10-year overall survival (10y-OS) rates in women with FIGO stage I/II disease were similar among HPV genotypes: 94.7% for HPV16 (n£¿=£¿39), 95.2% for HPV18 (n£¿=£¿26), and 96.4% for non-HPV16/18 (n£¿=£¿29). However, the 10y-OS rates in women with FIGO stage III/IV tumors were 73.7% for HPV16 (n£¿=£¿20), 45.7% for HPV18 (n£¿=£¿7), and 35.7% for other types (n£¿=£¿16), with significantly higher survival in HPV16-positive compared with HPV16-negative ICC (10y-OS; 73.7% vs. 39.5%, P£¿=£¿0.04). This difference in FIGO stage III/IV tumors remained significant after adjusting for age and histology (hazard ratio 0.30, 95% confidence interval 0.09¨C0.86, P£¿=£¿0.02). These results suggest that detection of HPV16 DNA may be associated with a favorable prognosis in patients with FIGO stage III/IV ICC. Given that most women with FIGO stage III/IV tumors received concurrent chemoradiotherapy, this finding may imply that HPV16-positive tumors are more chemoradiosensitive %K Cervical cancer %K Human papillomavirus (HPV) %K Prognosis %K Radiosensitivity %K Survival %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6218653/
