Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
1. To determine whether high-risk sexual behaviors are more common in patients with oropharyngeal cancer than in patients with head and neck cancers of other sub-sites.
2. To determine if high-risk sexual behaviors are more common in patients with HPV (human papillomavirus) associated head and neck cancer than those without evidence of HPV-16 infection.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Infection with HPV-16 has been linked with SCCHN. Half of all cancers of the oropharynx (the middle part of the throat including the soft palate, base of the tongue, and tonsils) are caused by HPV-16. HPV-16 is normally sexually transmitted, and is the cause of cervical cancer in women. By finding out if the virus is also sexually transmitted to the oropharynx, doctors may be able to educate patients about risk factors for developing cancer in this region. Eventually, doctors may be able to vaccinate people who are at risk for getting this virus.
You have received this questionnaire because you gave researchers your verbal consent for the mail-out. Along with the questionnaire, included are 2 self-addressed stamped envelopes for you to return the questionnaire and consent separately.
If you agree to take part in this study, you will complete the questionnaire about your sexual history such as specific sexual practices and number of partners, exposure to HPV and other viruses, and any relevant medical history. This questionnaire should take about 10 minutes to complete. The questionnaire will be given a study code number so that your name or M. D. Anderson patient ID number will not appear on the questionnaire.
Once you have finished the questionnaire, for added privacy and confidentiality, you should place the signed consent form in 1 self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) and the completed questionnaire into the other self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) that has been provided. Please mail both envelopes back within 15 days of receiving the questionnaire.
Once you have completed the questionnaire, your participation in this study is over.
This is an investigational study. About 1,267 patients will be enrolled in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.
