This proof-of-concept paper shows that the described assay produces reliable results for detecting HPV types in a multiplex mass spectrometry-based assay in cervical smear and cfDNA with high specificity and sensitivity in both cohorts. The assay shows potential for liquid biopsy-based applications in monitoring cervical cancer progression.
