[quote]So what this means is that the multiple and varied DM sites, which can present as distal localized pain, indicates that we may need to be more aggressive in working up our suspicions for metastatic disease, and that imaging such as PET/CT scans may be warranted even several years after treatment, also that with HPV patients we should not dismiss without exploration what would normally be unspecified pain in what were previously thought to be unlikely metastasis sites.

Brian,
Is anything published or available on the post tx followups? How often, what type of scoping, scans, frequency? I'm certain many here would find it highly relevant.

Thanks
Don
