TP53 and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: The impact of the HPV oncoproteins on cell growth control pathways is reflected in human cancer genomic data: genes in the p53 pathway and in the RB1-related cell cycle pathway are frequently mutated in HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) but infrequently mutated in HPV-positive HNSCC (Sanchez-Vega et al., 2018).
