First successful trial for early detection of HPV-related cancer of the pharynx

DKFZ News        28. September 2022

Screening trials for the early detection of rare diseases often fail due to insufficient predictive power of the results. For the rare HPV-related cancer of the pharynx, scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ) now relied on the combined detection of antibodies against two different viral proteins in a proof-of concept trial. This enabled them to significantly improve the positive predictive value of the test results. More...

Mit Hochdurchsatz gegen Krebs und COVID-19: Dieter Morszeck Stiftung unterstützt Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum mit einer Million Euro

DKFZ News        18. May 2020

Mit einer Million Euro fördert die Dieter Morszeck Stiftung am Deutschen Krebsforschungszentrum (DKFZ) den Aufbau einer Hochdurchsatz-Infrastruktur für die serologische Analyse an Blutproben. Die Technologie ermöglicht es, große Personengruppen auf akute oder frühere Infektionen mit Viren oder Bakterien zu untersuchen. Zunächst soll die Plattform eingesetzt werden, um den Nachweis von Antikörpern gegen SARS-CoV-2 und gleichzeitig andere Corona-Viren in großem Maßstab zu ermöglichen. Langfristig soll die Methodik genutzt werden, um zu untersuchen, in wie weit bestimmte Viren und Bakterien mitverantwortlich für die Entstehung von Krebsarten sind. More...

DKFZ News        3. April 2017

A growing number of cases of oropharyngeal cancer are considered to be a consequence of infection with human papillomaviruses (HPV). Scientists at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have now revealed that a single blood sample test for specific antibodies can identify persons who are at a high risk of developing this type of cancer ten years or more before cancer diagnosis. More ...
