FYI - there's an article in today's Wall Street Journal about private funding for research into rare cancers. The focus is on one family's quest for funding into adenoid cystic carcinoma, a salivary-gland cancer.

The article is available here .

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
