Prognostic Significance of a Scoring System Combining p16, Smoking, and Drinking Status in a Series of 131 Patients with Oropharyngeal Cancers

<div>Survival and tobacco or alcohol habits in OSCC patients. (a) The prognosis for non- and light smokers (no tobacco, <i>n</i> = 28) significantly better than for moderate and high smokers (tobacco, <i>n</i> = 101) regarding to RFS (HR: 2.7, 95% CI: 1.1–6.5) and OS (HR: 3.6, 95% CI: 1.4–9.2). (b) The survivals for non- and light drinkers (no alcohol, <i>n</i> = 37) significantly longer than for moderate and high drinkers (alcohol, <i>n</i> = 92) regarding to RFS (HR: 2.7, 95% CI: 1.3–5.7) and OS (HR: 4.7, 95% CI: 2.0–11.2).</div>
