Purpose
RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of tissue, saliva, and blood from patients with cancer and from healthy participants to study in the laboratory may help the study of cancer in the future.
PURPOSE: This research study is collecting and storing tissue samples from patients with head and neck cancer and from healthy participants.

| Official Title: | Head and Neck Tumor Tissue Repository and Clinical Database |
- Maintenance of a clinical database pertaining to diagnosis and treatment outcome of patients with head and neck cancer [ Time Frame: ongoing ]Collection of data for both groups from the Vanderbilt Otolaryngology Patient Intake questionnaire as well as the medical record, such as medical history, family history, and exposures to risk factors for cancer (tobacco and alcohol use), and results of tests related to diagnosis of tumor and treatment response (for tumor patients only).
- Development of a repository of biospecimens [ Time Frame: ongoing ]Collection of blood, tissue, saliva, bronchial washings and other specimens as indicated from both tumor and healthy patients.
Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
Retrospective --Pathology archives will be reviewed and those with a sufficient amount of formalin-fixed tumor may be enrolled. Additionally, normal tissue from upper aerodigestive tract tissue excised for benign conditions will be collected. A one-time collection of medical data will be done for these cases. Specimens and datasets may also be incorporated from other studies with specimens and/or useful data left over.
Prospective -- For non-tumor volunteers: After patient has signed consent, mouth cells and/or saliva samples will be obtained. If the patient agrees to having a biopsy, tissue may also be collected.
For tumor patients: If the patient requires surgery, biological specimens will be collected day of surgery. The pathologist or designated lab personnel will oversee processing of the specimens. If the patient is scheduled to have a bronchoscopy, a bronchial washing may be collected.

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.

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.).

Detailed Description:
OBJECTIVES:
- Maintain and update a clinical database pertaining to diagnosis and treatment outcome of patients with head and neck cancer.
- Develop a repository of biospecimens from these patients.
OUTLINE: Tumor tissue samples and/or bronchial washings are collected from patients undergoing planned surgery and/or bronchoscopy, respectively. Buccal swabs and/or mouthwash samples and saliva samples are collected. Patients also undergo blood sample collection at baseline and then every 2-6 months thereafter.
Healthy participants contribute blood samples, buccal swabs, and mouthwash samples at baseline only.
Information about medical and family history and cancer risk factors is also collected.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: No limit.
FOLLOW UP: Indefinite, until date of death or lost to follow up.
