The goal of the study is to determine why some men and women get certain types of head and neck (mouth or throat) cancer, and others do not. If we can identify underlying causes of head and neck cancer, we can determine ways to prevent it from occurring. Collection and analysis of medical records and tumor biology may also lead to more effective treatments and lower the death rate from this disease.
Thank you for your interest, but this study is recruiting by invitation only.
