A member asked:
How many teens are aware that oral sex can cause throat cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Obviously Not enough: This topic should be covered as part of sexual education for teenagers. I am treating now a very young patient with hpv+ tonsillar cancer. The incidence of hpv+ head and neck cancer continues to increase and this is not something that can be underestimated.
