@Jdcramer Great thread John, and I agree, but I think we need to mention why this likely is. All head and neck cancers are not created equal….

New in @CCR_AACR : we can read the physical state of the HPV genome from a tube of blood — and it's prognostic of recurrence and survival across HPV+ cancers. 🧵

Great trip to Kyoto for the AACR-JCA meeting. Wonderful to see old friends and make new ones. Thank you to @AACR and outgoing AACR president @lillian_siu for the invitation to speak on our work advancing liquid biopsy - and the late night yakitori, chicken hearts, liver and all.

🩸HPV-DeepSeek, a WGS assay, detected molecular recurrence in patients with HPV-associated #HeadAndNeckCancer up to 17.5 months before clinical recurrence and nearly twice as early as ddPCR.

A whole genome sequencing assay named HPV-DeepSeek sniffs out signs of residual disease after surgery in patients with #HPV+ head and neck cancer, and detects recurrence earlier than digital PCR and standard clinical criteria. @FadenLab @BIDharvardOHNS https://t.co/bGrJhklXrP
