Measurable Residual Disease Detection Using Tumor-Informed CtDNA Surveillance After Curative-Intent Treatment in HPV-Independent Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This study will test the ability of a personalized blood test to determine which head and neck cancer patients will have a recurrence after treatment.
