"Oropharyngeal (p16-) cancer staging refers to TNM staging of carcinomas originating in the oropharynx that are not human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated. This system most commonly pertains to squamous cell carcinomas that tested negative for p16, an immunohistochemical proxy for HPV infection, or were not tested. Rarer oropharyngeal tumours, such as neuroendocrine carcinomas, for which p16 assessment is not required, are also included in this staging system, except for mucosal melanoma, which has its own staging system."
