David: I'm ignorant about all this and am trying to learn all that I can, so as to help my husband in his treatment. What do you mean by "no disection, if HPV positive.." Why not? Thanks for your help! (PS I asked husband's physician if he would test for HPV, because I have read some recent articles, and he said he will)
