This study checks a blood test that looks for HPV tumor DNA to help doctors decide when to start routine treatment after surgery. It may help some people avoid starting treatment too early or too late based on how the test changes after the operation.
This study looks for early signs of HPV-related throat cancer. If you've just been diagnosed and haven't started treatment, your blood or saliva samples may help improve future screening tests.
This study is looking for men aged 50 and older to take a simple blood test that may help detect early signs of throat cancer caused by HPV. The goal is to find out if this blood-based screening could catch the cancer sooner.
This observational study checks how well a blood test for HPV DNA (and other tumor genetic markers) predicts outcomes in certain throat cancers. It may help doctors better track the disease and plan treatment, because the trial validates these lab signals against real-world results.
This study checks a substance called HPV DNA in your blood to see how your HPV-positive throat cancer responds early during treatment. It may help doctors spot who is responding well and who may need closer attention sooner.
This study looks at HPV-related health in the genital and anal areas of women who have HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer, or are the female partners of someone who does. The goal is to better understand how HPV affects these areas over time.
