Human Papillomavirus-16 (HPV-16) associated squamous carcinoma of the oropharynx has a favorable prognosis. Patients with HPV-16 positive cancers have elevated peripheral blood CD8+ T lymphocyte levels that correlate with response to chemotherapy and survival. Tumor infiltrating lymphocyte subpopulations (TIL) were assessed in pretreatment biopsies from a prospective patient cohort to determine if TIL subsets differed by HPV status, clinical factors, patient outcome or correlated with peripheral blood T cell levels. Measured were CD8, CD4, CD68 and Treg (FoxP3) lymphocytes by immunohistochemistry in a tissue microarray created from patients (n=46) with advanced oropharynx cancer. Correlations with peripheral blood levels, HPV status, expression of EGFR, clinical tumor and patient characteristics and outcome were determined. Patients were treated with a single course of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil) followed by either surgery (non-responders) or chemoradiation (cisplatin 100 mg/m2 every 3 weeks × 3; 70 Gy, 2 Gy daily × 7 wks) for responders. Median follow up was 6.6 years. HPV-16 positive patients had improved survival (p=0.016). Degree of T cell infiltration did not differ by HPV status but was significantly related to disease specific (DSS) and overall survival (OS). Higher infiltration by CD8, CD4 and FoxP3 subsets was significantly associated with lower T stage and survival. Even after adjusting for HPV status, CD8, FoxP3 and total T cells were significantly associated with DSS (p=0.0236; 0.0040; 0.0197) and OS (p=0.0137; 0.0158; 0.0115, respectively). Less T cell infiltration (p=0.0130) and CD4 cells in particular (p=0.0792) were associated with higher EGFR expression. FoxP3 infiltration correlated significantly and directly with CD4 and CD8 infiltration but not with peripheral blood levels. Improved outcomes are associated with increased TILs independent of HPV status and suggest the local immune response to HPV-16 may be related in part to factors such as tumor size, EGFR expression, smoking history, performance status or innate immunity. Assessment of TILs in tissue microarrays is difficult due to small core sample size and variation in tumor representation in tissue cores. Further study of larger numbers of patients and infiltrates in whole tumor sections combined with functional analysis of individual subsets may be necessary to detect differences in local immunity in HPV-16 related cancers.
