Article Synopsis
- HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer (HPV+OPSCC) is the most common HPV-related cancer in the U.S., but it currently lacks a screening method, making early detection challenging, despite the disease developing years before diagnosis.*
-
- Researchers created an HPV whole genome sequencing test called HPV-DeepSeek, showing 99% sensitivity and specificity, which successfully identified 79% of HPV+OPSCC cases from plasma samples collected up to 10.8 years prior to cancer diagnosis.*
-
- The study indicates that blood-based screening can detect HPV-associated cancers years before clinical diagnosis, emphasizing the promise of using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) for early cancer detection.*
