Summary
This randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best way to give lyophilized
black raspberries in preventing oral cancer in high-risk patients previously diagnosed with
stage I-IV or in situ head and neck cancer. Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to
keep cancer from forming. The use of lyophilized black raspberries may prevent oral cancer.
Studying samples of oral cavity scrapings, blood, urine, and saliva in the laboratory from
patients receiving lyophilized black raspberries may help doctors learn more about changes
that occur in DNA and the effect of lyophilized back raspberries on biomarkers.
