Russell....Who is listed as the sponsor for this study? On the internet, it said that the U.S. Department of Defense is the sponsor. Is this correct (and why??)

How are the studies paid for? by the U.S.gov't., or by your insurance. My ins. is BC/BS, and they will pay for clinical trials.

I am beginning to waffle some on the idea of having so many biopsies taken....but i will wait and see if they even offer me a chance to enroll. I doubt that they will. That might affect their scientific results.

Also.....did you hear that Congress has cut funding for cancer research, most specifically clinical trials, including those for oral cancer.
