Brief Summary: Patient at increased risk for developing a new head and neck squamous cell carcinoma are invited to take part in this study

The investigators of this trial will attempt to study the effectiveness of Celecoxib in preventing cancer in patients who have oral leukoplakia andor head and neck dysplasia
Detailed Description: Celecoxib is being studied in precancerous lesions of the head and neck in part because it has been shown to prevent the progression of another type of precancerous polyps a type of abnormal growth in patients at high risk for colorectal cancer There are however no published studies yet looking at this drug in humans for the prevention of head and neck cancers The US Food and Drug Administration has approved celecoxib for arthritis and the prevention of polyps in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis a type of precancerous syndrome in some families that can lead to colon cancer

This study is being done to find out several things

Is celecoxib also known by the trade name Celebrex effective in reducing the expression of precancerous markers biological signals for specific cellular activities in oral leukoplakia and dysplasia abnormal growth of the oral mucosa
Is celecoxib effective in reducing the size of oral leukoplalda lesions andor presence of dysplasia
Does the reduction in precancerous markers correspond with reduction of oral leukoplalda andor presence of dysplasia
What are the side effects of celecoxib in this patient population
