Clinical and Molecular Features of Oral Premalignancy and Oral Cancer

Description

Investigators will employ serial assessments of tissue biopsy and additional biomarkers that reflect burden of disease and predict treatment response. Patients enrolled on this study will be given the option to provide biological samples before, during, and after treatment, as well as functional outcomes of treatment response. These samples will be utilized to develop and validate prognostic and predictive biomarkers for patients undergoing targeted therapy, immunotherapy, surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiotherapy.
