Abstract
Elderly HPV+Â OPC patients have longer survival than their HPVâ counterparts. Lower Zubrod scale score and higher radiation therapy dose are associated with longer OS, whereas fewer smoking pack-years and systemic agents have nonsignificant associations. Comorbidity-polypharmacy score, but not CCI, is correlated with OS, especially in HPV+Â patients, suggesting the potential importance of assessing polypharmacy in addition to comorbidity burden in this population.
