RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict survival of patients with head and neck cancer.
PURPOSE: This laboratory study is assessing gene expression profiles in predicting survival of patients with head and neck cancer.
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples are analyzed by DNA microarray analysis for gene expression profiling.
