To clarify the synergistic influence of human papillomavirus (HPV) status and squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) mRNA expression on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) prognosis, HPV DNA presence and SCCA1 and SCCA2 mRNA expression were determined by PCR and quantitative real-time RT-PCR, respectively, in 121 patients with primary HNSCC who were receiving curative treatment. HPV DNA was detected in 28.1% (34/121) of HNSCC cases, and only high-risk types (HPV-16, HPV-33, HPV-35 and HPV-58) were observed. Positive HPV status showed a significantly better prognosis than negative HPV status (P=0.022). An elevated SCCA2/SCCA1 mRNA ratio was an independent predictor of disease recurrence (P=0.004). In addition, HPV-negative patients with a high SCCA2/SCCA1 ratio (>0.27) had a significantly lower recurrence-free survival rate than HPV-negative patients with a low SCCA2/SCCA1 ratio (P
