Registered Medcape members can read the Posner seminar in its entirety as a Continuing Medical Education with pop up quizes to make sure you are getting it right (and they are graded). I got them all right and nice printed certificate at the end; In the CME Posner does make many statements about cetuximab and HPV and TX.
But again, different people draw different conclusions from the same articles and studies. No denying that Klo's post is what she understands. but it's becoming standard that she and I read things differently.
OCF members can go with my judgements as one who has had Erbitux and discussed it his doctor who no longer prescribe Erbitux for HPV or go with Klo's cheerleading for a drug that her patient never had,( and if he had, may not have done so well as he has and could be facing a recurrence like many many Eribux users.) My advice remains to choose the drug(s)such as platinum based ones that worked for Klo's patient instead of Erbitux which may have left Alex with a recurrence.
