Significance of Negative Posttreatment 18-FDG PET/CT Imaging in Patients With p16/HPV-positive Oropharyngeal Cancer

Patients with p16/HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma have a favorable outcome after treatment. In this group of patients who potentially have a long life expectancy, the optimal surveillance strategy and modality is not well established. We aim to determine the ability of a negative postradiation PET/CT scan in predicting the risk of subsequent relapse in these patients.
