Condition: Hearing Disorder · Oral Mucosal Disease · Pharyngeal Neoplasm · Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Background: Researchers want to learn more about head and neck disorders. Understanding these disorders could help them find better treatments. To do this, they are collecting tissue samples for research. Objective: To create a repository of tissue samples and data to better study conditions of the head and neck. Eligibility: People who had or will have tissue samples taken because of a head or neck disorder. They must be ages 3 and older and not pregnant to join Part 2. Design: Participants will be screened with a questionnaire, medical history, and physical exam. Part 1. Participants will give permission for any of their tissue samples leftover from private care or other research protocols to be used. If participants tissue did not contain normal tissue or if they have a condition that suggests a genetic issue, they will be invited to join Part 2. Part 2: Participants will have additional samples collected. These could be: * Blood: Blood is drawn through a needle in the arm. * Cheek swab or brushing: A cotton swab or small brush is rubbed inside the cheek. * Saliva: They rinse their mouth with water and spit into a tube or cup. * Skin biopsy: They are injected with a numbing drug. A biopsy tool removes a small piece of skin. * Mucosal biopsy: They are injected in the mouth with a numbing medication. A small piece of tissue from the inside of the cheek is removed. Participants samples will be used for future research, including genetic testing.
