Qualifiers

Age ≥ 18 years

Able to provide written consent

Must undergo p16 staining on biopsy for enrollment

Patients with < 70% of tumor cells positive for p16 will be considered p16 negative

Disqualifiers

Receiving any other investigational agent which would be considered as a treatment for the primary neoplasm.

Other active malignancy ≤ 5 years prior to registration

EXCEPTIONS: Non-melanotic skin cancer, non-metastatic thyroid cancer, non-metastatic prostate cancer, carcinoma-in-situ of the cervix, HPV+ oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (which can be enrolled in group 3)
