Simple blood test may predict head and neck cancer behavior

NCT ID NCT07512921

First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026

Summary

This observational study aims to see if a blood test can identify the same biological subtypes of HPV-negative head and neck cancer that are currently only found by testing tumor tissue. About 300 adults with advanced but curable cancer will give blood samples before and after treatment. Researchers will compare blood and tumor data to see if the blood test can predict outcomes, which could lead to easier monitoring and better care in the future.
