Résumé

In clinical oncology, only a few applications have been developed using HPV as a personalized tumor marker, a lack most probably related to the limited information obtained by the classical Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) approach. To overcome this limitation, we have recently developed the capture-based Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) "CaptHPV" assay, designed to provide an extensive and comprehensive molecular characterization of HPV DNA sequences associated with neoplasias, ie the sequence of the viral genome (245 genotypes), its physical state, viral load, integration site and genomic alterations at integration locus. These data correspond to highly specific tumor markers that can be used to improve diagnosis and patient's follow-up.
