Great trip to Kyoto for the AACR-JCA meeting. Wonderful to see old friends and make new ones. Thank you to @AACR and outgoing AACR president @lillian_siu for the invitation to speak on our work advancing liquid biopsy - and the late night yakitori, chicken hearts, liver and all.

A whole genome sequencing assay named HPV-DeepSeek sniffs out signs of residual disease after surgery in patients with #HPV+ head and neck cancer, and detects recurrence earlier than digital PCR and standard clinical criteria. @FadenLab @BIDharvardOHNS scim.ag/3S52VLF
