NCT ID NCT04857528
First seen Mar 06, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can find HPV DNA in people with HPV-related anal or cervical cancer who are getting radiation therapy. Researchers will take blood samples before, during, and after treatment to see if the virus's genetic material shows up and if its levels can help predict if the cancer will come back within two years. About 20 adults with stage I-III anal cancer or stage I-IVA cervical cancer will take part. The study does not test a new treatment but aims to learn more about how these cancers respond to standard radiation.
