Tumor HPV status is a prognostic factor for oropharyngeal cancer, but classification methods are not standardized. Here we validate HPV classification methods used in United States cooperative group trials. Tumor DNA and RNA purified from 240 paraffin-embedded oropharyngeal cancers diagnosed from 2000–2009 were scored as evaluable if positive for DNA and mRNA controls by quantitative-PCR. Eighteen high-risk (HR)-HPV types were detected in tumors by consensus PCR followed by HR-HPV E6/7 oncogene expression analysis by quantitative reverse-transcriptase PCR. Sensitivity (S), specificity (SP), positive (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of p16 expression detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and HPV16 detected by in situ hybridization (ISH) were evaluated in comparison to HR-HPV E6/7 oncogene expression. Inter-rater agreement among three pathologists was evaluated by kappa statistic. Of 235 evaluable tumors, 158 (67%, 95%CI 61.2–73.3) were positive for HR-HPV E6/7 oncogene expression [HPV type 16 (92%), 18 (3%), 33 (3%), 35 (1%) or 58 (1%)]. p16 IHC had high sensitivity [S 96.8%, SP 83.8%, PPV 92.7%, NPV 92.5%] whereas HPV16 ISH had high specificity [S 88.0%, SP 94.7%, PPV 97.2%, NPV 78.9%] for HR-HPV oncogene expression. Inter-rater agreement was excellent for p16 (kappa=0.95–0.98) and HPV16 ISH (kappa 0.83–0.91). Receiver-operating-curve analysis determined the cross-product of p16 intensity score and percent tumor staining to optimally discriminate HR-HPV E6/7-positive and negative tumors. p16 IHC and HPV16 ISH assays have excellent performance, with high sensitivity and specificity, respectively. Appropriate assay choice depends upon clinical implications of a false-positive or negative test.
