To the Editor We congratulate Last et al for their valuable contribution to our understanding of the risk of contralateral nodal spread in patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)–associated squamous cell carcinoma of the base of the tongue.

We have 2 questions that would be relevant to the head and neck oncology community.
