Researchers are studying the genes inside throat cancer tumors to understand why some cancers behave differently than others. By collecting tumor tissue samples and medical information from patients in Taiwan, they want to build a database that will help doctors better understand which patients might respond to different treatments and develop new ways to fight this cancer.
Right now, doctors don't fully understand the genetic differences between throat cancers caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and those that aren't caused by it, especially in Taiwan. This research aims to fill that gap so doctors can eventually personalize treatment based on a person's specific cancer genes.

If you qualify, researchers will collect your existing tumor tissue samples (archived from previous biopsies or surgery) and gather information about your medical history and cancer treatment. You may be grouped based on whether your cancer is HPV-positive or HPV-negative, and whether you've already received treatment. The study team will use your samples for genetic testing and store the results in a secure database to help understand how different cancers respond to therapy.
