Unfortunately oral cancer (OC) is not one of the more well known cancers. There has not been tons of money poured into research for OC like what breast cancer, skin cancer, lung cancer, etc receive. OCF tries to fund research projects and was a driving force behind much of what is now known about HPV thru Dr Maura Gillison's work. OCF is a very small nonprofit organization that depends on donations to keep running. We do wonders on a shoestring budget and wish we could do more to fund OC research projects but we can only stretch a dollar so far.

I still advise a second opinion for your brother even though he is currently at a great facility. Johns Hopkins isnt far from your area and may be a place your brother could go? Im sorry I cant remember which is a CCC in Philly, HUP or Fox Chase. Both are excellent facilities. I know people who have been treated at both with great outcomes.
