First seen Jan 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This study looks at whether testing men for HPV antibodies or HPV DNA in their blood or mouth rinse can help find throat and anal cancers earlier. Researchers will follow 1,500 men who test positive for these markers, along with some who test negative, to see how often cancer develops. The goal is to improve screening and catch these cancers at an earlier, more treatable stage.
