Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The incidence of oropharyngeal cancer continues to increase. Persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most significant cause of oropharyngeal cancer. Early detection and clinical diagnosis represent an important approach for cancer control. In addition, the advent of the HPV prophylactic vaccine has the potential to reduce the burden of HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancers. The scope of this Special Issue is to improve the understanding of oropharyngeal cancers, including its prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
