Official Title: HPV-Related Oropharyngeal and Uncommon Cancers Screening Trial Of Men (HOUSTON Study)
Brief Summary:
There are 2 parts in this study: pre-screening and the "main" clinical research study.
The goal of the pre-screening part of this study is to learn if participant has antibodies against human papillomavirus (HPV) . Antibodies are created by the immune system and may attack foreign cells or diseased cells, such as HPV.
The goal of the main study is to learn about the relationship between HPV and cancer risk in men who test positive for HPV antibodies. Researchers want to look for early methods of screening for certain types of cancer.
HPV infections can lead to oropharyngeal, anal, and/or penile cancer. The goal of the entire study is to learn if screening for HPV can help doctors learn which participants may be at a higher risk for developing these types of cancer.
