I have a quick question relating to my diagnosis. The hospital is beating around the bush and will not confirm whether my cancer was from HPV or not. My surgical oncologist mentioned that HPV is only related to cancers at the BOT and neck. Should I push to have them test for this? Is there anyone out there who had SCC in the front of tongue who was HPV +?

Thanks!
