And here's the list of CCC's:
http://www.oralcancerfoundation.org/resources/cancer_centers.htmGabe, there's an error in the list you posted -- A PEG and a G-tube are different.
The PEG tube goes through the abdomenal and stomach walls into the stomach; the G-tube or GN-tube is gastro-nasal and is a tube fed up through one's nose and then down the back of the throat into stomach -- GNT has no surgery involved unless they put in sutures to hold it in place.
At one time, we discussed putting all this pseudo-medical jargon in one place so it would be easy to refer to it and new members could find it, plus further explanations of things like Staging -- I personally know that it was a daunting task at first to understand this entire new language/code when I was rather distracted by what was happening to me, and I have to believe that was the same for many of us.
