Confusing time zones! I will have to opt out of the live viewing. I'll look at it in the archives.
To watch the video:
1. Return to this page at 8 am CT on June 2 http://mayocl.in/2suic7t
2. You will see the video window at the top of the page as soon as the event starts.
3. Click the Play button.
If you have any problems, simply post a message and I'll be there to help out. Keep in mind that the video might start a few minutes after 8.
Good morning. We're live. Post your questions for Drs Ma and Moore here during the live event.
my sister had HPV related jaw cancer. Should she have the back of her tongue looked at regularly?

I would like to express our apologies for not being able to answer questions while we were live, the time went too fast with this near and dear topic. However, Dr. Moore and Dr. Ma reviewed your questions and I have added responses' from our Physicians to your posted questions above.

The reply from our physicians is "She should undergo follow-up exam by a head and neck cancer specialist for several years after treatment- this exam would look at her mouth, back of tongue, throat, and neck, with periodic imaging to look at her chest and abdomen"
The reply from our physicians is "Immunotherapy is under investigation as a part of the treatment for tonsil and base of tongue cancer- the results of how effective this is are not fully complete at this time"
