I would imagine it's the same one. Cevical and HNC have a lot in common. HPV is one of them.

They pretty much know that most of the cervical cancers come from the HPV virus and are testing (phase II or III I believe) a compound that is suppose the eliminate said virus. I am hopeful it makes the transitition to Head and Neck.

I am not a doctor but, if it works for Cervical and we know that at least some HNC comes from HPV well, it's a no brainer.

Anyone hears anymore please drop me a line.
