Rare throat cancer linked to oral sex
May 11, 2007
A RARE cancer in the back of the throat is "strongly associated" with a virus transmitted during oral sex, US researchers believe.
A study of 100 women diagnosed with cancers at the back of the throat, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, has linked human papillomavirus (HPV) with throat cancer. It concluded oral HPV infection was associated with oropharyngeal cancer among people with or without the other risk factors of tobacco and alcohol use.
