When I was Dx'd with Hep C (as part of my cancer workup) they informed me that my case of Hep A in 1977 was actually "C") and they didn't have the diagnostic tools to properly Dx it. Things are always changing in medicine.

Bear in mind that many radiation therapy techniques such as 3D conformal, IMRT and Proton Beam were originally developed for prostate cancer.

Many times when new drugs are developed they have no idea what they will cure so it's practically a "crap shoot".

Gardasil is not yet "indicated" for oral cancer by the FDA hence it would not be mentioned in the patient literature.

EBV is also suspect in OC.
