    HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer generally has a better outcome than HPV-negative disease, with a 54% better survival rate, [18] but this advantage for HPV-associated cancer applies only to oropharyngeal cancers. [19] People with oropharyngeal carcinomas are at high risk of developing a second primary head and neck cancer. [20]
