This phase II clinical trial studies how well soy isoflavones work in preventing head and neck cancer in patients with stage I-IV head and neck cancer undergoing surgery. Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming. The use of soy isoflavones may prevent head and neck cancer recurrence.

primary Outcomes
  1. description
    The change in methylation will be analyzed in parallel using a linear repeated measures model. The fixed effects will be time (pre-treatment versus post-treatment), current smoking status (yes or no), their interaction, and tissue type (tumor or not). Satterthwaite's adjustment to the degrees of freedom will be applied to account for heteroscedasticity. The differential effect of soy isoflavone on tumor and non-tumor tissues between smokers and non-smokers will be assessed using linear contrasts.

    Mean Percent Change in p16 Methylation (% CpG Sites Methylated) in Tumor Tissue After Soy Isoflavone
    time Frame
    From baseline to surgery, up to 42 days
  2. description
    Each of the tumor and mucosal markers will be dependent variables in repeated measures models that include serum and saliva markers as predictors. Graphical analyses will be used to characterize possible nonlinear relationships between variables. Linear or nonlinear regression, as appropriate, will be used to characterize the relationship between the putative predictors and outcomes. Subset analyses, considering, for example, differences in relationships between tumor markers and serum and saliva markers between smokers and non-smokers will be performed by means of indicator variables.

brief Summary
This phase II clinical trial studies how well soy isoflavones work in preventing head and neck cancer in patients with stage I-IV head and neck cancer undergoing surgery. Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming. The use of soy isoflavones may prevent head and neck cancer recurrence.
detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine if short term, preoperative (300 mg/day x 14 treatment days) soy isoflavone supplementation modulates p16 methylation (% CpG sites methylated) and expression of p16, cyclooxygenase 2 \[COX-2\], vascular endothelial growth factor receptor \[VEGF\], epidermal growth factor receptor \[EGFR\], interleukin-6 \[IL6\], p53 and B-cell lymphoma-extra large \[Bcl-xL\] in tumor and non-tumor adjacent mucosa of patients with head and neck squamous carcinoma undergoing curative tumor resection. II. To estimate correlations of tumor p16 methylation (% CpG sites methylated) with expression of p16 and levels of, IL6, VEGF, and 15-F2t-isoprostane in serum and saliva. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Describe the toxicity of short-term, preoperative treatment with soy isoflavone. II. To determine overall and relapse-free survival. OUTLINE: Patients receive soy isoflavones orally (PO) for approximately 14 days before undergoing surgery. After completion of treatment, patients are followed up, within the routine cancer management schedule, at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months.
