I'm not trying to "upsurp" anything. I'm just stating what I'm reading, and adding the links to them.

In 2006 the FDA approved Erbitux for use in combination of SCCHN that cannot be removed by by surgery (unresectable). It was also approved for use alone (mono therapy) to treat patients whose head and neck cancer has spread (metastasized) despite the use of standard chemotherapy.

Also, Erbitux was then approved by the FDA in 2011 for use with chemotherapy to treat patients with late stage (Metatastic) head and neck cancer.

Accoring to these news releases by the FDA, unless they made an ammedndum since, waiver, agreement, who is upsurping who, the NCCN?

Amyway, I had Erbitux and taxotere ending last November.
