The incidence of Human Papilloma Virus positive (HPV+) oropharyngeal Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is rising and it has become evident that this type of cancer represents a subgroup of HNSCC that is characterized by a more favourable prognosis, mediated by a distinct tumour microenvironment, compared to patients with HPV negative (HPV-) tumours. However, the exact mechanisms underlying this improved treatment outcome and the potential role of the tumour microenvironment are not fully understood yet. Imaging of v3 integrin expression will obtain more insight in the differences in tumour microenvironment between HPV+ and HPV- oropharyngeal HNSCC. CT perfusion provides additional characterisation of this tumour microenvironment. Therefore, these techniques may have the potential to predict response to treatment and might possibly steer treatment decisions in future clinical trials.
