HPV+ patients generally respond better to treatment and have lower rates of recurrence and metastasis compared to HPV- patients, highlighting the need for distinct biomarkers for risk stratification in these populations (aim 1). Treatments for early-stage HPV+ OPSCC typically include radiotherapy or chemoradiation; however, some patients may not benefit from chemotherapy and suffer from overtreatment-related toxicity. Identifying candidates for less intensive treatments could yield similar efficacy with improved quality of life (aim 2). The biological interactions between the primary tumor and metastatic cervical lymph nodes in p16+ OPSCC generate distinct imaging phenotypes that can be analyzed through deep learning to predict clinical outcomes (aim 3). Despite this, most research has focused on the primary tumor\u0027s prognostic value within a single imaging modality. The combined prognostic implications of both the primary tumor and lymph node involvement across multiscale imaging (e.g., radiology CT and pathology whole slide images) have been comparatively underexplored (aim 4).\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EComputational Imaging-based Prognostic and Predictive Biomarkers for Oropharyngeal Cancer\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Computational Imaging-based Prognostic and Predictive Biomarkers for Oropharyngeal Cancer"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2024-10-03 18:22:27","changed_gmt":"2024-10-03 18:25:51","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2024-11-01T14:30:13-04:00","event_time_end":"2024-11-01T16:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2024-11-01T16:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2024-11-01 18:30:13","gmt_time_end":"2024-11-01 20:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2024-11-01 20:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"HSRB II N600","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
