Joined: May 2006 Posts: 720 Likes: 1 | How lucky for you both -- Wake Forest is a National Cancer Institute-designated "comprehensive cancer center," meaning that it's among the top centers in the country in research, education and patient care. There's even a video about the Head and Neck Cancer Clinic there -- click the link found on this page . All the best, Leslie

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
