Abstract

BACKGROUND: We aim to predict outcomes of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), a subtype of head and neck cancer characterized with improved clinical outcome and better response to therapy. Pathology and radiology focused AI-based prognostic models have been independently developed for OPSCC, but their integration incorporating both primary tumour (PT) and metastatic cervical lymph node (LN) remains unexamined.
