Patients with invasive nodal disease from HPV-related oropharyngeal SCC can be managed with up-front surgery and adjuvant therapy, as indicated with good regional control. Although distant recurrence was the primary site of failure, adjuvant chemotherapy was not associated with improved outcomes. The T classification, node number, and adjuvant radiotherapy are independent prognostic factors in this patient population.
