RE: Amivantamab head and neck trial 'brealthrough'31 May 2026 11:12
"Head and neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, and it affects around 12,800 people in the UK each year."
Is this true? Even if it is true, 'head and neck cancer' is a broader categorisation than salivary gland cancer. However, actually...
The condition treated in the OrigAMI-4 Phase 1/2 trial is Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck:: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06385080
AI slop on the conditon's name: "Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a common cancer originating in the squamous cells that line the moist, mucosal surfaces of the mouth, throat, and voice box. It is heavily linked to tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption, and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection.
Common Locations - HNSCC is classified by where it develops:
• Oral Cavity: The lips, tongue, gums, and inside of the cheeks.
• Oropharynx: The tonsils, soft palate, and base of the tongue.
• Larynx & Hypopharynx: The voice box and the lower part of the throat.
• Nasopharynx: The area behind the nose."

Well eggy will be so very disappointed because —Warning! AI slop incoming!: "Salivary gland cancer is classified as a type of head and neck cancer, but it is typically not a head and neck squamous cell carcinoma."
So, panic over chaps. The Ribena story continues intact.
