The researchers think that a blood test (NavDx®) may be able to identify cancer early by looking for circulating DNA from Human Papillomavirus/HPV. Circulating DNA are small pieces of genes that are released into the bloodstream. The purpose of this study is to find out whether using this blood test to test for HPV DNA will help detect HPV-related Oropharyngeal Cancer/OPC.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
9
Evaluation of HPV presence via NavDx (v1) at two (or three) timepoints o If one of the two blood samples is positive, the subject will have a third NavDx (v1) test approximately 1 month after the second timepoint. If the test is positive, the subject will move to surveillance phase.

Proportion of participants found to have HPV-related OPC
: The primary objective is to determine the feasibility of screening by estimating the yield (proportion of subjects found to have HPV-related OPC out of all subjects screened).
Time frame: Up to 5 years
