Purpose
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood, tissue, and saliva in the laboratory from patients with cancer and from healthy volunteers may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer.
PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at biomarkers in patients with head and neck cancer and in healthy volunteers.

Head and Neck Cancer |
Genetic: protein expression analysis Genetic: proteomic profiling Other: immunoenzyme technique Other: laboratory biomarker analysis Other: liquid chromatography Other: mass spectrometry |
| Study Type: | Observational |
| Official Title: | Serum Biomarkers for Head and Neck Cancer |
- Differences in serum protein profiles and differences in the number of peptide matches [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Protein levels and the largest difference in peptide matches in sera [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
| Estimated Enrollment: | 100 |
| Study Start Date: | April 2005 |
OBJECTIVES:
- Correlate the differences in serum protein profiles with the differences in the number of peptide matches in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck and in healthy volunteers.
- Correlate protein levels with the largest difference in peptide matches in sera in these participants.
OUTLINE: This is a prospective study.
Participants undergo blood, tissue, and saliva collection for biological studies. Samples are analyzed for albumin-bound and non-albumin-bound proteins or IgG via liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS), ELISA, proteomic profiling, and protein expression.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 50 patients and 50 healthy volunteers will be accrued for this study.
