One of the best minds in HPV+ OP cancer research, Dr. Maura Gillison, is one of the PI's of the RTOG 1016 clinical trial under discussion. Of course, anyone can be wrong, but I think she's a pretty smart cookie.
CG to husband - SCC Tonsil T1N2M0 HPV+ Never Smoker First symptoms 7/2010, DX 12/2010 TX 40 IRMT (1.8 gy) + 10 Cetuximab PET Scans 6/2011 + 3/2012 clear, 5 year physical exam clear; chest CT's clear of cancer. On thyroid pills. Life is good.
