BackgroundSurvival outcomes for adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (aCRT) and adjuvant radiotherapy (aRT) were compared in patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) with intermediate‐risk features.MethodsWe identified 2164 patients with OPSCC in the National Cancer Database without positive margins or extracapsular extension and with at least one intermediate‐risk feature: pT3‐T4 disease, ≥two positive lymph nodes, level IV/V nodal disease, and/or lymphovascular invasion. We assessed predictors of aCRT use and covariables impacting overall survival.ResultsaCRT was commonly used for both human papillomavirus (HPV)‐positive (62.0%) and HPV‐negative (64.3%) patients with OPSCC. Higher N stage, level IV/V neck disease, and younger age strongly predicted aCRT utilization. There was no significant survival benefit associated with aCRT vs aRT in HPV‐positive (hazard ratio [HR], 0.93; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.62‐1.38;P= .71) or HPV‐negative (HR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.51‐1.10;P= .15) disease.ConclusionsDespite high rates of utilization, aCRT is not associated with better survival vs aRT for OPSCC with intermediate‐risk features, including HPV‐negative tumors.
