Popis: Abstract Early recurrence detection of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is important for improving prognosis. Recently, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has been reported to be useful in early detection or treatment response determination in various carcinomas. This study aimed to identify the utility of ctDNA for predicting recurrent metastasis in patients with HNSCC. We collected pre-treatment tissues (malignant and normal tissues) and multiple plasma samples before and after treatment for 20 cases of HNSCC treated with radical therapy. ctDNA was detected in pre-treatment plasma in 10 cases; however, there were no significant associations with tumor recurrence and staging. During follow-up, ctDNA was detected in 5 of the 7 plasma samples of recurrent cases but not in the 13 recurrence-free cases. Moreover, there was a significant difference in post-treatment relapse-free survival time between the groups with and without detected ctDNA (20.6 ± 7.7 vs. 9.6 ± 9.1 months, respectively; log-rank test, p
