Whether this has any significance or not I don't know. Duke has 3 clinical trials going on in their head & neck cancer group but hardly mention that they treat head & neck cancer on their site (there is a phone number for the head & neck group). Most of the NCCN hospitals offer assistance with travel and housing. There is nothing better than personal experience and Larry has shared that. There is an outfit called Angel Flight America, that offers free flights for medical purposes in private aircraft. http://www.angelflightamerica.org/
