Brian,

I have read several publication's reagarding the link between HPV & HNC.

I saw this article in this in this months issue of Cure.
Please read below.

I remember reading that you feel this is how you contracted this disease.
Please share you thoughts and suggestions. I am going to be forwarding this information to the staff at University of Chicago and try to get some feedback from them.

I think if this real and if it is applicable, we (everyone here) should push hard to get to Clinicals going on this!


HPV Vaccine Filed for Approval

Merck submitted a biologics license application (BLA) for Gardasil to the
FDA in early December. The drug company is seeking priority review for the
cervical cancer vaccine, which means the FDA would review and act on the
filing within six months of receipt as opposed to the standard 10 months.
In a phase III trial, Gardasil prevented 100 percent of cervical precancers
and non-invasive cervical cancers associated with human papillomavirus (HPV)
types 16 and 18, which combined account for approximately 70 percent of
cervical cancer cases. The vaccine also protects against HPV types 6 and
II, which combined account for about 90 percent of genital wart cases. For
