Liquid biopsy, utilizing biofluids such as blood and saliva, offers a noninvasive approach to detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), circulating tumor RNA (ctRNA), and small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) containing DNA (sEV-DNA) and RNA (sEV-RNA), which reflect tumor biology. However, comprehensive comparisons of these liquid biopsy markers are limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Paired plasma and saliva samples were collected from HNSCC patients and healthy controls. We analyzed ctDNA and sEV-DNA from both plasma and saliva for tumor fraction (TF), copy number variations (CNVs), and methylation patterns. Additionally, we profiled small RNAs from saliva-derived ctRNA and sEV-RNA to explore their potential as biomarkers for disease monitoring.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Saliva sEV-DNA exhibited significantly higher TF compared to plasma sEV-DNA in HNSCC patients (mean, 0.0744 vs 0.0253, P &amp;lt; 0.001), suggesting superior tumor DNA capture in saliva. CNV analysis revealed shared and distinct genomic alterations across different sample types. Aberrant methylation patterns were observed more frequently in sEV-DNA than in ctDNA across both saliva and plasma samples. Small RNA profiling demonstrated broader coverage of differentially expressed genes in saliva sEV-RNA, enhancing its biomarker potential.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings suggest that saliva-derived sEVs hold promise as noninvasive biomarkers for HNSCC.
