When Parade Magazine [the defacto national Sunday newspaper magazine, distributed in more than 400 newspapers and he most widely read magazine in the U.S., Parade has a circulation of 32 million and a readership of 71 million]runs a special issue devoted solely to "Cancer in America" WITH NOT ONE WORD IN THE ARTICLES ABOUT ORAL CANCER OR OC PATIENTS.
The only mention at all is indirect in the report that "the deadliest cancers don't get the most funding" which lists "esophagus" cancer as on of the top ten cancer killers in 2000 with the lowest funding and that NCI doesn't get many research proposals for head and neck cancers
You would think that the major discovery of HPV causing head and neck cancer would have merited one sentence.
