Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. To assess the oral HPV prevalence among OSCC patients. This is crucial for devising appropriate strategies and for identifying highrisk groups that require targeted interventions.
2. Study will help in the identification of other high-risk HPV among OSCC patients.
3. The study will also explore saliva testing as a strategy for testing oral HPV among cancer population
4. The study is also aimed to identify the impact of different risk factors associated with OSCC.
5. Study will provide insights regarding mutational status of E6 and E7 oncogenes.

Brief Summary   This is a prospective study that aims to determine the prevalence of different HPV genotypes in HPV associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The study will be using 120 tissue biopsy and saliva samples collected from histologically confirmed OSCC positive patients from the year 2024 to 2025. The biopsy samples collected would be processed and tested by chip-based Trunat® HPV-HR kit PCR and the Truenat positive samples (HPV HR types 16/31 and 18/45) will be genotyped by conventional multiplex PCR. E6 and E7 oncogenes of HPV HR types 16 and 18 will be sequenced by Sanger sequencing and bioinformatic analysis will be performed. The Trunat® negative samples would be subjected to multiplex PCR for detecting other HR HPV. The study will help in estimating the current prevalence and burden of oral HPV in the Indian population and the impact of socioeconomic and behavioral risk factors associated with OSCC. Furthermore, study also aims to explore the use of non-invasive samples like saliva as an alternative oral HPV testing strategy among OSCC patients.
