Abstract
OBJECTIVES While survival outcomes are favorable for Human Papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCCs), early diagnosis may minimize treatment-related morbidity and mortality. This study evaluated circulating tumor tissue-modified viral (TTMV)-HPV DNA plasma testing to facilitate early diagnosis of HPV-positive OPSCCs. METHODS In this prospective exploratory cohort study, patients presenting to an Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery clinic with unexplained signs or symptoms considered high-risk for HPV-positive OPSCC were recruited between March 2021-October 2022. Circulating TTMV-HPV DNA testing was performed, and results were shared with subjects and treating clinicians. Clinicians were surveyed regarding the perceived clinical utility of the test. RESULTS Thirty-nine subjects were included. Most subjects were women (N = 23, 59 %), white (N = 32, 82 %) and never-smokers (N = 20, 51 %) with median age 60 years. Circulating TTMV-HPV DNA was detected in 2/39 subjects, both subsequently diagnosed with HPV-positive OPSCC. Both were white men aged 70-80 years with a neck mass. One subject with undetectable TTMV-HPV DNA was also diagnosed with HPV-positive OPSCC through excisional neck mass biopsy. Other eventual diagnoses included 3 HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinomas and 4 other malignancies. Testing was perceived as helpful in clinical decision-making for 26/38 (68 %) subjects, and useful for similar future patients for 32/37 (86 %) subjects. CONCLUSION Circulating TTMV-HPV DNA testing is feasible and holds potential as a diagnostic aid for HPV-positive OPSCC alongside standard clinical workup. Clinicians should be cognizant of its limitations, as a negative test does not necessarily indicate the absence of disease. Further studies to evaluate its utility are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of systemic treatment options leveraging the molecular landscape of advanced thyroid cancer is a burgeoning field. This is a multidisciplinary evidence-based statement on the definition of advanced thyroid cancer and its targeted systemic treatment. METHODS An expert panel was assembled, a literature review was conducted, and best practice statements were developed. The modified Delphi method was applied to assess the degree of consensus for the statements developed by the author panel. RESULTS A review of the current understanding of thyroid oncogenesis at a molecular level is presented and characteristics of advanced thyroid cancer are defined. Twenty statements in topics including the multidisciplinary management, molecular evaluation, and targeted systemic treatment of advanced thyroid cancer are provided. CONCLUSIONS With the growth in targeted treatment options for thyroid cancer, a consensus definition of advanced disease and statements regarding the utility of molecular testing and available targeted systemic therapy is warranted.
