Summary:
This study is designed to refine the aetiological causes of cancers of the head and neck
and investigate the ways in which human papillomavirus and life-style factors cause head
and neck cancers. This study will determine if these factors affect the treatment of
cancer.
All patients attending the Head and Neck Clinic at the Princess Alexandra Hospital is
invited to complete a risk factor questionnaire and give consent for their clinical data
and tissue samples to be available for future research activities. The risk factor
questionnaire is based on existing validated instruments developed by the QIMR Berghofer
Medical Research Institute Cancer Control Group, and will collect standardised
information relating to demographics and causal factors (tobacco and alcohol intake),
risk modifiers (dentition, asprin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS),
height, weight, physical activity, diet quality etc) and behaviours (oral sex etc)
Detailed description:
Data is collected using a simple four-page paper-based questionnaire. Information to be
collected include age, sex, height and weight (at age 20, current age, and heaviest
ever), history of cancer (own and partner). Questions about recreational physical
activity, smoking history and alcohol consumption, acid reflux, heartburn, denture use
and tonsillectomy, frequency of use of paracetamol, antihistamine and NSAIDS.
The questionnaires also ask participants some detailed questions about sexual behaviour
and history if they are comfortable to give this information.
