Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators want to have a collection of fresh primary or recurrent tumor tissue for establishment of patients-derived xenografts in order to:

generate a biobank of in vivo patient xenografts representing the different subgroups of tumors for head and neck cancer

* perform genetic and transcriptional profiling of the primary, metastatic tumors and xenograft tumors
* evaluate the efficacy of new targeted agents, whether or not in combination with standard treatment options
* evaluate biomarkers of drug sensitivity
* study primary and secondary (acquired) resistance in these models

Interventions

Learn about the drugs, procedures, or behavioral strategies being tested and how they are applied within this trial.

Local biopsy in the tumor

A tumor biopsy of 0.5 cm2 or more will be collected from every patient during surgery or endoscopy after informed consent and if there is enough material after review by the pathologist.
