Integrated analysis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma cohorts from three continents reveals conserved subtypes of prognostic significance

Abstract Human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cervical cancer represents one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. Although low-middle income countries are disproportionately affected, our knowledge of the disease predominantly originates from populations in high-income countries. Using the largest multi-omic analysis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) to date, totalling 643 tumours and representing patient populations from the USA, Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa, we identify two CSCC subtypes (C1 and C2) with differing prognosis. C1 tumours are largely HPV16-driven, display increased cytotoxic T-lymphocyte infiltration and frequently harbourPIK3CAandEP300mutations. C2 tumours are associated with shorter overall survival, are frequently driven by HPVs from the HPV18-containing alpha-7 clade, harbour alterations in the Hippo signalling pathway and increased expression of immune checkpoint genes,B7-H3(also known asCD276) andNT5E(also known asCD73) andPD-L2(also known asPDCD1LG2). In conclusion, we identify two novel, therapy-relevant CSCC subtypes that share the same defining characteristics across three geographically diverse cohorts..
