You may qualify if:
- Age ≥ 18 years
- Able to understand and willing to sign written informed consent
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx or larynx)
- Patients not amenable for curative treatment who receive palliative systemic treatment or best supportive care

Biospecimen
For future translational research projects, the location of tissue samples in local pathologies will be recorded for patients who have consented to the use of their tissue samples, creating a decentralized biobank. Future translational research projects cannot be pre-defined. Any future translational research project will be described in detail in a project plan and submitted to an ethics committee for review and approval.
