A combined expression signature of these miRNAs was prognostic of oropharyngealSCC, independent of common clinical features or HPV status.

The subjects were 23 patients with advanced re-recurrent oral and oropharyngealSCC undergoing second salvage surgery and reconstruction with a TIMF.

HPV E6 and E7 expression profiles were then analyzed in 150 archived oropharyngealSCC samples and compared with other variables and with patient outcomes.
