Your Involvement

After consent, you can expect to complete a questionnaire, provide a blood, urine, and mouthwash/saliva sample.

If you are identified to be at possible high risk for HPV-related throat cancer, you will be offered an in-person throat cancer screening, a neck ultrasound, and a possible PET-CT scan. Additionally, you will be offered a one-time anal screening exam and a cervical or penile exam.

About the Study

HPV-related throat cancer is on the rise, and by the time symptoms appear, the cancer has already spread in about 80% of cases. The TEJAS study is working to establish early screening methods to identify cancer earlier, before it requires treatment with life-long side effects.
