The Current Role of Human Papillomavirus Circulating Tumor DNA in Oropharynx Cancer.
Cancer Journal 2023 July
Human papillomavirus infection is currently implicated in the majority of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma cases diagnosed in the United States. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has emerged as a potential biomarker for human papillomavirus-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma and has the opportunity to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance of patients with this disease. Changes in ctDNA levels during and after primary therapy may be related to disease response, which can possibly have implications for treatment intensification or de-escalation strategies. Further, ctDNA seems to be sensitive and specific for disease recurrence and may improve upon current methods for assessing both treatment response and failure. In this review, we examine the relevant literature on the use of ctDNA for oropharyngeal cancer treatment and surveillance and discuss current limitations and future directions for this promising biomarker.
