The link is established and there are lots of articles in the news section and throughout the site about it. Just use the search engine on the main site to pull them up. The next scientific generation of the vaccine science will be looking at attacking the virus in older individuals not as a preventative vaccine in children. Angiogenesis inhibitors are being studied and are in clinical trials. It will be a few more years before we know if they are going to be a major factor in halting the growth of oral cancer tumors. The berry connection is real; just remember after reading the many articles in the news section of the web site that we do not know what chemical compounds in the berries are the most important and effective. Again very promising stuff, but years ways from practical application. Curing oral cancer will happen as we find cures for other cancers as they are all related at the genetic level. Targeted therapies such as Erbitux etc. are showing the most promise and at some point in the future they may even be able to, using your own DNA profile, create a custom cocktail that works just for you. But we will never prevent cancers from occurring in our world. The best hope is that it will become a manageable and survivable disease with maintenance. The things that cause cancers are all around us in the air we breathe, the foods we eat, our water sources and more. Management rather than cure is the current goal. There is information about all these things on the main web site and I urge you to spend some time wandering through it.
