Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a causative agent for tonsillar and base of tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC/BOTSCC), as well as for cervical cancer. Premalignant stages in cervical cancer have been studied extensively, while little is known about premalignant stages in TSCC/BOTSCC and the role of HPV. Here we analyzed differences in gene and protein expression between high‐grade dysplasia and invasive cancer in both HPV‐positive (HPV+) and HPV‐negative (HPV−) TSCC/BOTSCC.
