I agree that contacting the major NCI cancer centers will give you valuable info. Each as a clinical trials coordinator, and each has access to different trials. On the "Other Resources" link from the main entry OCF site page, there is a clinical trials search engine link that will take you to the main government site for locating trials. http://www.oralcancerfoundation.org/resources/index.htm#clinical It is a long process to sort though all the possibilities that it finds, most any given patient (because of their unique needs) will not qualify for, but I wanted you to know that resource was there. Remember that clinical trials are closed to many people that do not fit into the very specific parameters of that trial. For instance, they may only want people of a certain age, a certain staging, that have had one treatment like radiation but not another. It can get a bit frustrating, so the trail coordinators are a good first start. Let's hope that things do not go this far.
