Here is the study that was originally presented at ASCO in synopsis form. Please note that for the 5th time OCF was a financial sponsor of work into HPV and oral cancers since 2000 the last 3 times with the NCI as our partner. http://oralcancernews.org/wp/asco-second-study-links-HPV-to-mouth-cancer-outcomes/ Here is a second story related to these findings http://oralcancernews.org/wp/HPV-positive-tumors-increase-chance-of-survival/

An interesting side note is that I introduced Dr. Ang and Dr. Gillison. Both have been members of the OCF science advisory board for a decade. Dr. Ang was my treating RO at MDACC and I credit him for saving my life in 1998. It's funny how things work out in the end.
