BUSAN, South Korea, Feb. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a type of cancer that affects the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, and throat. HNSCC is typically associated with tobacco exposure, alcohol abuse, and viral infections. The links between human papillomavirus (HPV) infection status and the molecular characteristics of HNSCC are not clearly defined.

Key Points: 
  • BUSAN, South Korea, Feb. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a type of cancer that affects the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, and throat.
  • The links between human papillomavirus (HPV) infection status and the molecular characteristics of HNSCC are not clearly defined.
  • Therefore, the HPV infection could be considered a criterion for developing treatment strategies, thereby enabling precision medicine tailored to the patient's condition!

This newest study underscores the robustness and validity of our previous results, by adding more biological value to the individual methylation marker regions, said Christian Hense, COO at Universal DX.

Key Points: 
  • This newest study underscores the robustness and validity of our previous results, by adding more biological value to the individual methylation marker regions, said Christian Hense, COO at Universal DX.
  • Investigating their impact on gene expression and putting these biomarkers in the context of biological pathways allows for better understanding of the behavior of early cancer.
  • Differential signal was observed between AA and NAT and CRC and adjacent normal tissue, indicating biological signal change with adenoma progression to cancer.
  • Universal DX will present its findings live at the AACR special conference on Precisions, Prevention, Early Detection, and Interception of Cancer in Austin, TX November 17-19.
