Several ways: Throat cancers are caused by tobacco and alcohol use and the human papilloma virus, hpv. To help prevent it, eliminate tobacco use and moderate alcohol use. Most adults have already been exposed to hpv and don't get cancer, so that part can't be changed (except by getting vaccinated as a child). Check other posts for signs and symptoms of throat cancer.If you have concerns, please see your doctor!
