NCT01884129

Brief Summary

We hypothesized that the number of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and molecular markers on CTCs could be a prognostic factor or predictive factor to patients with head neck cancer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Progression-free survival

    Measure response or progression events via all available imaging studies, including Chest-Xray, CT scans, or MRI, PET study. The relationship between CTCs number and time from CTCs checkpoint to disease progression will be analyzed.

    one year

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Overall survival

    one year
