The Head and Neck Tumor Biobank
Storage of Head and Neck Tumor Samples in a Biobank for Future Genomic-based Research Aiming at Improved Outcome Prediction: " The Head and Neck Tumor Biobank".
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 2 Oct 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purpose of the biobank is to enable future genomic based research on this Head and Neck Cancer patient population. The investigators will try to identify tumor factors that will predict cancer-related outcome in order to improve the outcome prediction after treatment in a patient-individualized manner.

Built from the registry fields of ClinicalTrials.gov. It describes the study, not your situation.
Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Other
- Small primary tumors, e.g. vocal cord tumors, that are too small to obtain multiple biopsies because of the associated risk of functionale damage
- Patients not undergoing panendoscopy during routine clinical work-up, e.g. because of examination under general anaesthesia already performed elsewhere, before referral to azM.
Who the study is looking for
- Patient with (suspected) mucosal HNSCC
- Tumor site: oropharynx, hypopharynx, larynx, nasopharynx, or oral cavity
- Scheduled for panendoscopy under general anesthesia
- Tumor size that permits harvesting of multiple biopsies, without risk of functional damage
- No previous treatment, except previous biopsy
- Age \>= 18 years
Age in the registry: 18 years to - · Sex: All · Does not accept healthy volunteers
