Background: The detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) has several implications in the diagnostic work-up and management of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). The choice of HPV detection assay and testing algorithms differ across institutions and vary in cost, detection targets, technical feasibility, and turnaround time. In this study, we aimed to validate the VisionArray® HPV Chip for formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples of OPSCC using the previously applied standard pan-HPV DNA PCR assay as a reference. Methods: The validation cohort consisted of FFPE tissue samples from patients previously diagnosed with HPV DNA-positive OPSCC (n = 80), HPV DNA-negative OPSCC (n = 21), and a benign group of tumor samples consisting of Warthin’s tumors (n = 20) and branchial cleft cysts of the lateral neck (n = 14). All samples were tested with p16 immunohistochemistry, pan-HPV DNA PCR, and the VisionArray® HPV Chip. Results: The overall sensitivity and specificity of the VisionArray® HPV Chip assay were 100% [95% CI 95.5%; 100.0%] and 96.3% [95% CI 87.3%; 99.6%] and the positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 97.6% [95% CI 91.5%; 99.7%] and 100% [95% CI 93.2%; 100%], respectively. Conclusions: The VisionArray® HPV Chip assay can be recommended for high-risk HPV testing in FFPE tissue samples from OPSCC, providing both a fast and simultaneous genotyping for 41 clinically relevant HPV types.
