PurposeWhile circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a promising biomarker for minimal residual disease (MRD) detection in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), more sensitive assays are needed for accurate MRD detection at clinically-relevant timepoints. Ultrasensitive MRD detection immediately after surgery could guide adjuvant therapy decisions, but early ctDNA dynamics are poorly understood. Experimental DesignWe applied MAESTRO, a whole-genome, tumor-informed, mutation-enrichment sequenc...
