About
Irene Terrenato is a leading researcher in the field of head and neck oncology, with a primary focus on the application of liquid biopsy for the early detection and monitoring of oropharyngeal cancer. Her most cited work, "Circulating HPV DNA in patients undergoing transoral robotic surgery for oropharyngeal cancer: liquid biopsy could identify molecular residual disease" (2025, 7 citations), represents a significant contribution to precision oncology. In this study, Terrenato demonstrated how circulating HPV DNA can serve as a non-invasive biomarker to detect molecular residual disease after transoral robotic surgery, offering a powerful tool for identifying patients at risk of recurrence before clinical symptoms appear. This work bridges the gap between surgical oncology and molecular diagnostics, potentially reducing overtreatment and improving survival outcomes. Her research is highly impactful for clinicians and translational scientists, as it provides a practical framework for integrating liquid biopsy into routine post-surgical surveillance. Terrenato’s dedication to advancing minimally invasive monitoring techniques positions her as a key figure in the evolution of personalized cancer care.
