DESCRIPTION OF RESEARCH<br />
Dr. Goodwin’s research focuses on the prevention<br />
and treatment of squamous cell carcinoma<br />
(SCCA) of the upper aerodigestive tract.<br />
<strong>Cancer</strong> Prevention and Control<br />
Dr. Goodwin has had a long-term interest in the<br />
potential of several micronutrients to inhibit the<br />
development of these cancers. Currently, various<br />
aspects of an extensive database from a phase III<br />
chemo-prevention trial, investigating the activity<br />
of beta-carotene, are being analyzed and published.<br />
He also is collaborating with investigators<br />
at the University of Florida on an NCI-funded<br />
oral cavity cancer control project. Disparities in<br />
mortality and stage at time of presentation for<br />
under-served populations is a developing interest.<br />
Quality of Life<br />
In addition, Dr. Goodwin studies the impact of<br />
treatment decisions on the quality of life experienced<br />
by patients with head and neck cancer.<br />
Current studies include collaborative investigations<br />
of speech and swallowing function following<br />
various treatment interventions. Working<br />
with Frank J. Penedo, Ph.D., he also is interested<br />
in the effect of stress and depression on survival<br />
and quality of life in this group of patients.<br />
Therapy<br />
Finally, Dr. Goodwin is actively involved in clinical<br />
trials studying the effect of P-53 gene therapy,<br />
alone and in combination with chemotherapy, for<br />
recurrent cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx, and<br />
larynx.<br />

HIGHLIGHTS/DISCOVERIES<br />
• Established, as one of the first investigators, the<br />
efficacy of selenium and retinoic acid in inhibiting<br />
carcinogenesis in an animal tumor model<br />
relevant to SCCA of the upper aerodigestive<br />
tract.<br />
• Published definitive outcomes studies analyzing<br />
the results of salvage treatment for recurrent<br />
cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract and for<br />
the treatment of Stage IV cancer.<br />
