Article Synopsis
- Biomarkers for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) are currently insufficient, leading researchers to study extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their microRNA content as potential diagnostic and monitoring tools.
- The study involved a liquid biopsy analysis from 50 HNSCC patients and 16 controls, focusing on specific microRNAs in EVs over a 12-month follow-up period.
- Results indicated significantly higher expression of certain microRNAs in HPV-positive patients, highlighting the need for more extensive research on EV-microRNA expression across different HNSCC subsites for effective diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
