Arms

  • Arm: Healthy Volunteers
    Non-tumor volunteers will be asked to participate at the time that they are attending a head and neck cancer screening clinic or at the time they are accompanying a patient to their appointment at the head and neck clinic. Intake sheets and biological specimens contributed by volunteers will be coded at the time of collection so that no identifiers are obtained. These specimens will not be linked to identifiers.
  • Arm: Head and Neck Tumor patients
    Eligible patients will be identified at the Vanderbilt Head \& Neck Clinic by clinical and research staff. An appropriately trained staff member will discuss the protocol with the patient (including, risks, benefits, alternatives, etc.).

Primary Outcome Measure
