Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus (HPV) has emerged as a significant contributor to cancer incidence globally, particularly in the context of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) and cancer of unknown primary (HNCUP). This study aimed to develop and validate droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assays for the detection of circulating tumor HPV DNA (ctHPV-DNA) in plasma, focusing on high-risk HPV genotypes...
