Paul,

Thanks for the links to the studies. I can only chew on a couple before having to take a break with a splitting headache :-)

Good thing cetuximab was not mentioned in any of my treatment options. If I had not read up on this before I might have been inclined to go that way. that said, one study does not make a new standard of care but to me the risk/reward wouldn't justify it as it seems the primary outcome is to reduce side effects without reducing efficacy. In fact, it appears worse outcomes are linked to using cetuximab rather than platinum concomitant with RT.

fyi - it has been mentioned using cisplatin during CRT but changing to carbo at some point, i think.
