Researchers at Mass General Brigham have developed HPV-DeepSeek, a highly sensitive blood test that identifies HPV-associated head and neck cancers nearly a decade before symptoms appear. The test uses whole-genome sequencing to detect viral DNA fragments in the bloodstream. This advance could enable earlier treatments and improve patient outcomes.
