Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs that make cancer cells more visible to light may help in the diagnosis of head and neck cancer

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the usefulness of porfimer sodium in diagnosing patients with head and neck cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine whether porfimer sodium fluorescence can be used to reveal early malignant changes in patients with lesions of the oral cavity II Investigate whether porfimer sodium fluorescence can define areas of field cancerization in the oral mucosa specifically satellite foci of malignant cells within the margins of an excision III Determine whether uptake of fluorescence is indicative of disease stage

OUTLINE Patients receive porfimer sodium IV bolus and are kept in subdued light until examination with a fluorescence photometer 48 hours later Patients must avoid sunlight and other intense lights for an additional 30 days

PROJECTED ACCRUAL 20 patients will be accrued per year
