So weird that I have not heard of the NavDX test. I start chemo and radiation tomorrow for HPV 16 base of the tongue cancer. I will definitely be asking about this

Mayo and Shands here in Florida, at minimum, are conducting trial studies to, in part, determine whether the NavDX blood test is the best indicator of the presence of HPV-16 base of tongue squamous cell carcinoma. In my research, with no medical background, it appears that situations have occurred where scans and tests have showed no cancer presence but the NavDX blood test indicated there was cancer present. Follow up scans showed there was indeed cancer present thus validating l the NavDX results.
For me, the doctors have shown their confidence in NavDX results to confirm I am cancer free today.
My best wishes to you and I pray for your successful defeat of the cancer.
