中文摘要

背景: 约30%的鼻窦及鼻咽癌病例与HPV相关,然而针对这些患者循环肿瘤HPV-DNA(ctHPV-DNA)的研究十分匮乏。本研究旨在探讨HPV阳性(HPV+)鼻窦及鼻咽癌患者治疗前血液样本中ctHPV-DNA的敏感性。
方法: 纳入2017—2025年期间在丹麦哥本哈根Rigshospitalet耳鼻咽喉头颈外科与听力学部接受治疗的经确诊HPV+鼻窦或鼻咽癌患者。于治疗开始前使用Streck管采集血样,并通过微滴式数字PCR(ddPCR)分析ctHPV-DNA的存在。
结果: 共纳入15例原发性HPV+鼻窦或鼻咽癌患者。除2例HPV相关多表型癌外,其余均为鳞状细胞癌。HPV16最为常见,见于6例患者(40%)。此外还检出HPV18(n=2)、HPV33(n=1)、HPV35(n=3)、HPV45(n=1)和HPV56(n=2)。在纳入患者治疗前血样中检测ctHPV-DNA的敏感性为80%。ctHPV-DNA水平随T分期升高而显著增加。
结论: 在80%的HPV+鼻窦及鼻咽癌患者治疗前血样中检测到ctHPV-DNA。这支持进一步研究ctHPV-DNA作为这些患者治疗后监测生物标志物的价值。

英文摘要

BACKGROUND: Approximately 30% of sinonasal and nasopharyngeal carcinoma cases are HPV-associated, yet studies investigating circulating tumor HPV-DNA (ctHPV-DNA) among these patients are scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate the sensitivity of ctHPV-DNA in pretreatment blood samples from patients with HPV-positive (HPV+) sinonasal and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
METHODS: Patients with a confirmed HPV+ sinonasal or nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery and Audiology at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark in the period 2017-2025 were included in this study. Blood samples were drawn in Streck tubes before treatment initiation and analysed for the presence of ctHPV-DNA by Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR).
RESULTS: Fifteen patients with primary HPV+ sinonasal or nasopharyngeal carcinoma were included. Except for two cases of HPV-related multiphenotypic carcinoma, all cases were squamous cell carcinoma. HPV16 was most prevalent and found in 6 patients (40%). HPV18 (n = 2), HPV33 (n = 1), HPV35 (n = 3), HPV45 (n = 1), and HPV56 (n = 2) were also represented. The sensitivity of detecting ctHPV-DNA in the pretreatment blood samples of the included patients was 80%. The level of ctHPV-DNA increased significantly with increasing T-category.
CONCLUSION: ctHPV-DNA was detected in pretreatment blood samples in 80% of patients with HPV+ sinonasal and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. This supports further investigation of ctHPV-DNA as a biomarker for post-treatment surveillance in these patients.
