I read an article the other day on an oral rinse tested for the presence of P16 as and indication of potential recurrence for those HPV+ P16 patients.

It sounded to be pretty indicative. ~100 patients, 5 with indications on the rinse, same 5 had recurrences.

Has anyone else read about this? Anyone had the procedure done?
