Correct, much of this info I read, knew before, and have first hand knowledge after 5 neck dissections, 8 recurrences, but finding some reports again, stats, was another story for me after I lost them, and was good to reread, and see in print, but many are on the news page. I guess I meant more to say it shed more light on this disease from the other readings too, from this one symposium, as far as HPV survivorship, distant mets, Sinus Humidifier, targeted therapy failure of one drug, Math biomarker, voice qualit loss, salivary gland sparing during radiation in oropharynx, etc. I haven't seen anything on the peg tube per say, except the sinus humidifier reducing hospitalization during treatment, and fewer needing the peg tube or requring for lesser tme. I guess it was a presentation of some selection of the hundreds, if not more, articles in print, as you say, but thanks for attending, and having the inside track.
