The main part of the OCF site has excellent information here. You can also look here -- go to page 124 of the .pdf file.

As Christine notes, this topic has been discussed repeatedly. If you use the search box in the upper right corner or each forum page to look for PEG tube, you'll get 200 postings in just the last few months. (For some reason, if you search just for PEG, it won't work.)

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
