Study using patient tumor samples in head and neck cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses tumor tissue taken from people with head and neck cancer, then grows it in a lab to better understand the cancer and predict responses. If you have a new or returning cancer and can share key medical details and follow-up information, you may be able to take part.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Have primary or recurrent (back) or metastatic (spread) head and neck cancer
- Be able to do the tumor sampling either before surgery or before a biopsy
- Share important medical details like cancer stage, grade, tissue type, past treatments, and outcomes
- Have follow-up information available after your treatment
- Be willing to sign written informed consent

This study collects blood plasma samples from people with squamous cell cancer of the head and neck. Researchers want to better understand how treatments work, based on your prior cancer therapy, which may help future care.
This trial is collecting information and blood samples from people with head and neck cancer that cannot be cured. It aims to learn more about the cancer and find better ways to treat it.
This study collects tissue from people with newly diagnosed head and neck squamous cell cancer and grows “mini tumor models” in the lab. The goal is to see how these models respond to new therapies, which may help guide more effective treatment choices in the future.
This study looks at tissue samples from patients who had surgery for head and neck or breast cancer. Researchers want to understand how certain immune cells in the tumor might affect the cancer, which could help improve treatments in the future.
This study looks at tumor samples from people with head and neck cancer to understand why some treatments stop working. By studying the tumor tissue, researchers hope to find better ways to treat this cancer in the future.
This trial is for people with head and neck cancer that has not spread to distant parts of the body. It is a non-treatment study that will look at the molecular features of your tumor from a biopsy sample to help guide future treatment decisions.
