    Background/Objectives: Near-infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT) provides tumor-selective cytotoxicity with minimal collateral tissue damage and has emerged as a novel treatment option for recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, biomarkers that predict treatment response to NIR-PIT remain poorly defined. Therefore, this study aimed to exploratorily determine whether baseline nutritional and inflammatory composite biomarkers are associated with complete response to NIR-PIT in patients with recurrent HNSCC. Methods: Fifteen non-surgical candidates with recurrent HNSCC underwent NIR-PIT between January 2022 and December 2025. Baseline composite nutritional indices and inflammatory markers, including the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), were assessed before and 4-8 weeks post-treatment. Tumor response was evaluated according to RECIST version 1.1. Exploratory comparisons between complete response (CR) and non-CR groups were performed using Wilcoxon rank-sum tests with effect size estimation. Results: Five of 15 patients achieved CR (33.3%). Baseline SIRI was significantly lower in the CR group than in the non-CR group (median 70.7 vs. 120.2; p = 0.03), with a large effect size (r = 0.55). In contrast, baseline composite nutritional indices and other inflammatory markers showed no significant association with treatment response. Nutritional status remained stable after NIR-PIT, as reflected by preserved nutritional index values. SIRI tended to increase post-treatment in patients who achieved CR. Conclusions: NIR-PIT achieved encouraging local tumor responses in recurrent HNSCC while preserving early nutritional status. Baseline SIRI may represent a potential inflammation-based correlate of CR, reflecting the balance between systemic inflammation and host immune status, and warrants validation in larger prospective cohorts.

     View Summary

    The aim of the present study is to contribute the diagnosis and risk classification of human papillomavirus (HPV) related head and neck cancer. The major achievements of the present study are as follows, The 8th edition of the AJCC staging manual reflects the prognosis of OPSCC using p16 immunoreactivity for the detection of HPV-mediated OPSCC. The discordance between p16 overexpression and the presence of HPV DNA in relation to survival outcome should be clarified to design a de-escalation study.Laryngeal cancer (LC) patients with HPV infection and high levels of p16 expression might have an improved survival outcome; however, it is necessary to recruit additional LC cases with HPV infection to determine the definitive characteristics of HPV-mediated LC and estimate survival outcome. These results may contribute to the development of a useful method for selecting patients with a potentially fair response to treatment and ensure laryngeal preservation.
