An international group of researchers has found that antibodies to the human papilloma virus type 16 develop in the body between six to 40 years prior to a clinical diagnosis of throat cancer, and their presence indicates a strong increased risk of the disease. "Investigating the range in time prior to diagnosis in which HPV antibodies develop is important to understand how many years an individual who tested positive would be at increased risk, and also gives important insight into the natural history of the disease," explained Dr. Mattias Johansson, a cancer epidemiologist at the International Agency for Research on Cancer and the leader of the research team. "If rates of throat cancer continue to rise in the future, this biomarker could provide one means to identify individuals at very high risk of the disease who may benefit from specific preventive measures."

Using a new blood test that's in development, University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers identified characteristics that could be used to personalize treatment for patients with a type of head and neck cancer linked to HPV infection. Researchers believe the findings, published in the journal Clinical Cancer Research, could help identify those patients with characteristics linked to improved treatment responses. They hope to tailor therapy for those patients to reduce their exposure to potential toxic side effects.

The diagnosis of cancer is no longer a short-term death sentence; at least, it is not in some tumors. The survival in breast neoplasms is 85%; in melanoma, it is 90%; and even in the lung, which refuses to bend, the prognosis has improved in recent years. However, there are some tumors whose diagnosis is still not very promising.

Health Data Management
Several organizations are committing to develop a way to capture and report the characteristics, treatments and outcomes that each cancer patient should have in their electronic health records. Data from most patients living with cancer is contained in various types of EHRs, but many of the systems prioritize the collection of different types of data, or use different terms to describe the same type of data, or collect data in different formats.
