    Abstract Introduction: Human papillomavirus Virus (HPV)-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has increased in incidence in recent decades and represents a heterogeneous disease entity in the context of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC), in terms of disease prognosis. Treatment of locoregionally advanced OSCC is mainly based on concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Given the younger age of patients, if compared with HPV-negative counterparts, and the high cure rates, the acute- and long-term toxicity in survivors represents a field of interest. However, patient selection for de-escalation trials remains a major challenge due to the lack of robust validated prognostic indicators within the HPV-associated OSCC.
    Discussion: The impact of smoking status on HPV-associated OSCC prognosis has been demonstrated in the majority of studies. However, the magnitude of the association is unclear due to variability in smoking metrics and study outcomes. Smoking status has been identified as a potential confounding factor in HPV-positive de-escalation trials. Smokers with HPV-positive OSCC have a worse prognosis in most studies than non-smokers and may require different and more aggressive therapeutic strategies.

    Abstract The approval of monoclonal antibodies against programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and programmed cell death protein (PD1) has changed the landscape of cancer treatment. To date, many immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of metastatic cancer as well as locally recurrent advanced cancer. However, immune-related adverse events (irAEs) of ICIs highlight the need for biomarker analysis with strong predictive value. Liquid biopsy is an important tool for clinical oncologists to monitor cancer patients and administer or change appropriate therapy. CTCs frequently express PD-L1, and this constitutes a clinically useful and non-invasive method to assess PD-L1 status in real-time. This review summarizes all the latest findings about the clinical significance of CTC for the management of cancer patients during the administration of immunotherapy and mainly focuses on the assessment of PD-L1 expression in CTCs.

    Abstract HPV-related head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has emerged as a diverse clinical and biological disease entity, mainly in young patients with oropharyngeal tumors who are nonsmokers and nondrinkers. Indeed, during the past few years, the pendulum has shifted towards a new epidemiological reality, the "HPV pandemic", where the majority of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCCs) are attributed to HPV. The oncogenic potential of the virus is associated to its capacity of integrating oncogenes

    Abstract Renal cell carcinoma represents the most common malignancy of the kidney and the majority of cases are categorized as clear cell carcinomas. The elucidation of the specific alterations in key molecular and metabolic pathways responsible for cancer development and progression have prompted the rationalization of our classification of this disease and have provided specific targetable molecules implicated in carcinogenesis. Although immunotherapy has been an established option in the treatment of metastatic renal cell cancer for many years, its role has been renewed and upgraded with the implementation of anti-angiogenic agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors in our treatment armamentarium. The future holds promise, as newer agents become available and combination regimens of immunotherapy with anti-angiogenic agents have become the standard of care in the management of metastatic disease and are currently being evaluated in earlier settings. Proper patient selection and individualization of our treatment strategies are of utmost importance in order to provide optimal care to patients suffering from renal cell carcinoma.
