Past studies focusing on the developments of head and neck oncology have established that HPV mediated oropharyngeal patients have greatly improved clinical outcomes in association to HPV-negative oropahryngeal carcinomas. Over the past several years there has been a greater change on the primary site allocation of oropharyngeal carcinomas on western countries with a constant increase in OPC. Over several years HPV has increased significantly particularly among oropharyngeal cancer and has evolved into an extra risk. Up to today. OPSCC symbolize one of the large scale health issues, with about 200000 new cases noted internationally every year [3]. OPC has been noted to be on the rise while head and neck cancer decreases. HPV- positive has an increased incidence in youthful married men superior socioeconomic position and mostly tend to have high-risk sexual practices.
