Liquid Biopsy Goes Viral: Next-Generation Sequencing to Enhance HPV Detection

Clin Cancer Res. 2021 Jul 22:clincanres.2180.2021. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-21-2180. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLiquid biopsy approaches for the detection of viral DNA can provide important information for the diagnosis and identification of virally-associated cancers. Here we discuss the next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based CaptHPV method for the detection and characterization of plasma human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA in HPV-associated cancers and its potential clinical utility.PMID:34301747 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-21-2180
