Fuck cancer... because you can't give cancer oral

The number of head and neck cancers linked to the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV) has increased sharply over the past two decades, and the virus now accounts for more (oral) cancers than tobacco or alcohol, a new study finds.

Overall, the risk was greatest and rising in men, and the findings suggest that it may have to do with an increase in oral sex. "We believe that sexual habits have changed, and that there is an increase in sexual activity earlier on in life, with an exchange of many more sex partners in general," Dr. Tina Dalianis of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, who wasn't involved in current study but has conducted previous research on HPV-related oral cancer, told Reuters Health.

HPV is best known as the virus that causes cervical cancer in women, but because of better screening, the rate of such cancers has declined over time. The authors predict that if current trends continue, oral cancers may become the most common HPV-related cancer by 2020, eclipsing cervical cancer.

"The burden of invasive HPV-caused cancers will shift from women to men in the U.S., largely due to the rise of HPV-positive oropharynx cancers among men," study senior author Dr. Maura Gillison of the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center in Columbus told CNN.

Head cancer?

Best/Worst double entendre of all time.

There's an HPV vaccine. But it has to be taken before you become sexually active and people aren't vaccinating their kids.

That's "kids". Not daughters, kids. It's now recommended for boys and girls.

Think it was coincidence or intentional that it was recommended for boys a week after the mouth/throat cancer study came out? Think they were holding the study to release just before the recommendation? The old one-two punch? I kind of do, with no evidence.

lol

'with no evidence' famous vaccination against 'CITE'

...but, yeah.

You're laughing and agreeing with me, so even though I don't understand the rest of your post, I'm good with that.

:blush: Ive been drinking....

Oh yeah...a nod to 'head cancer'.

Just what we need. Another reason for the Ol' Lady to not give head.

:cuss:

If I'm reading it correctly, it is the men who are performing oral and getting the virus from their ladies (who are, presumably, also going to get cervical cancer eventually.) This just eliminates the sexist double standard; now the two of them can die together in a pact of sexual promiscuity.
