Today I received the result of the tissue analysis: no HPV.
Nevertheless, since I am much interested in what is going on in health issues, I will stay much interested in news about HPV and the difficulties with the present poor knowledge.
Age 51 ; non -smoker -drinker Jan./09: nothing. March 3./09: Biopsy: SCC T4, side of tongue. Reason: perhaps chemical burn by germicide after tooth extraction. 03/09: CT, MRI, scintigraphy, endoscopy etc: Dx T4N0M0. Then: IMRT+1 week cisplatin April 15th/09: ongoing IMRT; tumor shrunk by ~50%
