This study is an attempt to investigate & review of HPV prognostic role in oral squamous cell carcinoma. Methods & Materials: The investigated articles have been collected and studied meticulously using the data bases of PubMed, Medline, Scopus and Google Scholar through keywords of HPV, prognosis, survival rate, clinical outcome, oral cancer and OSCC during years of 2000 to 2015. Results: After scrutinizing and considering 23 articles, it was clarified that HPV-positive tumors can be treated easier. It can be related to some reasons such as more sensitiveness to therapies including chemotherapy and chemo radiation therapy .Furthermore, according to 12 articles, it was concluded that patients with HPV-positive tumors had higher survival rates compared with the HPV-negative ones, HPV-positive characteristic can be a significant prognostic factor.
