There isn't a kind or gentler method today of dealing with someone that actually has the disease. It's still the old school treatments. Perhaps in a decade those might be lessened in intensity some, if we get a clinical trial to use a few grays of radiation less, but cancer treatments aren't going to change much in our lifetimes I think. We're a generation or two away from any major breakthrough that really kills this stuff with some targeted therapy that spares us the collateral damage, at least in head and neck cancers.

This whole argument is about preventing it (as far as HPV caused OC) in our kids and grandchildren from ever happening in the first place.
