This research study is collecting tissue samples and medical information from people with head-and-neck cancer in Bangladesh to understand how a virus called human papillomavirus (HPV) may cause these cancers. Researchers will examine the samples in the laboratory to look for HPV, study gene changes, and compare cancer tissues from people with HPV to those without it. The goal is to help develop better prevention and treatment strategies for this common cancer in Bangladesh.
Head-and-neck cancers are very common in Bangladesh, partly because of tobacco and betel nut chewing habits, poor oral health, and HPV infection. By studying how HPV causes these cancers at the genetic level, researchers hope to create better prevention programs, including vaccines and public health education tailored to the Bangladeshi population.
You likely qualify if…
You likely don't qualify if…
If you qualify, you would donate a tissue sample from your cancer (which may already have been removed as part of your treatment) and allow researchers to review your medical history. Researchers will then test your sample in the laboratory to check for HPV, examine gene expression, and compare your results with samples from other participants. There is no long-term follow-up required — participation is mainly a one-time tissue donation and information sharing.
