Brief Summary: RATIONALE Diagnostic procedures such as analysis of tumor tissue and lymph nodes that have been surgically removed may improve the treatment of patients with cancers of the head and neck

PURPOSE Diagnostic trial to determine if analyzing tumor tissue and lymph nodes surgically removed from patients with cancers of the head and neck can predict recurrence of the cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine whether molecular detection of p53 mutation in cancerous cells of histologically negative tumor margins can predict local recurrence in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the upper aerodigestive tract
Determine the incidence of p53 mutation in this population and its correlation with clinical parameters
Determine whether molecular detection of cancerous cells in lymph nodes from stage N0-1 neck dissections can predict survival and the risks of regional recurrence and distant metastases in these patients

OUTLINE This is a multicenter study

Patients undergo standard curative resection and neck node dissection if appropriate Specimens are collected from tumor tissue necrosis-free if possible each wound quadrant any neck disease with clinically negative nodes and any neck disease with a single positive node for histologic and molecular analysis Tissue and cells are examined for p53 mutation and DNA microsatellite repeat alterations Patients undergo adjuvant radiotherapy andor chemotherapy as appropriate for clinical staging and histopathology at the discretion of the participating clinician

Patients do not receive results of genetic testing and the results do not affect treatment

Patients are followed every 6 months for 3 years and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total 530 patients will be accrued for this study within 35 years
