(51,438 posts)various subgroups of SSC. Here's a link of some of the SSC subtypes:
Papillary carcinoma (Code 8050/3)
Verrucous squamous cell carcinoma (Code 8051/3)
Papillary squamous cell carcinoma (Code 8052/3)
Squamous cell carcinoma (Code 8270/3)
Large cell keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (Code 8071/3)
Large cell nonkeratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (Code 8072/3)
Small cell keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (Code 8073/3)
Spindle cell squamous cell carcinoma (Code 8074/3)
Adenoid/pseudoglandular squamous cell carcinoma (Code 8075/3)
Intraepidermal squamous cell carcinoma (Code 8081/3)
Lymphoepithelial carcinoma (Code 8082/3)
Other variants of squamous cell carcinoma are recognized under other systems, such as:
Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma[3]
Clear-cell squamous-cell carcinoma[3]
Keratoacanthoma
Signet-ring-cell squamous-cell carcinoma

Human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) also known as HPV16+ oropharyngeal cancer or HPV+ OPC is a recognized subtype of Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC),[1][2][3] associated with the HPV type 16 virus.
You keep saying there's no proof that one can identify if a cancer is caused by HPV-16 or not. There is plenty of it just like we can identify a certain subtype of cancer via its pathology.
