5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study aims to determine whether a blood test for HPV DNA can improve diagnosis of HPV-positive oropharynx cancer (HPV-OPC).
Detailed Description
The diagnosis of HPV-OPC is often delayed. In this study, individuals with signs or symptoms potentially related to HPV-OPC, such as unexplained throat pain, tonsil or tongue base asymmetry, or a neck mass, will have their blood tested for circulating HPV DNA. A positive test may indicate that their symptoms are caused by HPV-OPC, and their treating physician will be encouraged to complete all the necessary testing to determine whether this is the case.
