Highlights • High-risk HPV infection is less frequently detected in HIV-positive non-metastatic ASCC compared with HIV-negative cases.• Mutational profile identified in the non-metastatic ASCC cohort revealed expected similarities with metastatic ASCC.• High PD-L1 expression levels are associated with high CD3 and CD8 TIL density, complete response to treatment, and good survival outcome of ASCC patients.• PD-L1 is a reliable predictive and prognostic biomarker that allows the stratification in low- vs. high-risk ASCC patients at their initial therapeutic approach.
