<p>Disclosed are methods, compositions, devices, and systems for assessing cancer potential, state, stage, risk of progression, prognosis, etc. of a subject based on determining the methylation state of human papillomavirus (HPV) in a sample from the subject. The cancers assessed generally can be cancer associated with or caused by HPV. For example, cervical cancer, vulvar cancer, penile cancer, anal cancer, and head and neck cancer can be associated with HPV. It has been discovered that certain patterns, profiles, and sets of methylation of HPV genomes are correlated with different cancer potential, state, stage, risk of progression, prognosis, etc.</p> |
