Summary
Brief summary
In this study the Investigators aim to determine specific volatile compounds present in breath samples of patients with oral cavity or oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma before and after tumour resection or before and after chemotherapy +/- radiotherapy using gas chromotography-mass spectrometry. The Investigators hypothesize that study participants with a tumour will display a distinct set of volatile organic compounds than can serve as potential cancer biomarkers.
