Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 3,552 | I searched for clinical trials for Iressa for H&N and this is what i came up with: http://www.hsc.wvu.edu/mbrcc/ctru/cancer/head/e1302.htm http://www.clevelandclinic.org/cancer/trial/clinicalTrials.asp?Disease=Head%20and%20Neck http://www.clevelandclinic.org/cancer/trial/clinicalTrials.asp?Disease=Head%20and%20Neck http://www.astrazeneca.com/pressrelease/432.aspx http://irt-web.stanford.edu/clinica...74551&condition_subordinate=19474796 Indeed you are correct that they are continuing to discover other possibilities for Iressa (including cervical cancer as well). I thought the Standford one was particularly interesting. Watch out for those side effects, in some patients they can be rather nasty, particularly when the liver is concerned.
