I was wondering about that, too, Minh. My son's cancer was on the right under side of his tongue. In searching OCF in News, re HPV, I also noted this: "The study looked at patients with nasopharyngeal cancer, a tumor that grows behind the nose and at the top of the throat, above the tonsils.

I'm sure someone else will be able to comment on this.
