Summary

RATIONALE: Studying the proteins expressed in samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors plan better treatment for patients with cancer of the oropharynx.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at protein expression in tumor tissue samples from patients with cancer of the oropharynx.
