Brief Summary: There is considerable evidence that turmeric consumption may have a protective effect against cancer progression. The purpose of this study is to examine the short-term effects of supplementation with a turmeric extract, Curcumin C3 Complex®, on biomarkers of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
Detailed Description: This is an open label, exploratory biomarker trial of the food substances Curcumin C3 Complex® in subjects with newly diagnosed HNSCC. Curcumin, a novel safe nutritional interventional agent has exciting potential usage as a preventive/adjuvant agent, and prevents tumor formation by inhibiting an important molecular pathway that is shown to cause cancer progression, which we will test as a tumor marker in this clinical trial.

The primary objective is to evaluate biomarker response of HNSCC patients to the food substances Curcumin C3 Complex®. This will be done by comparing post-intervention values to baseline values. In addition, we will determine the levels of curcumin and its metabolites in tumor and adjacent tissue.
