A member asked:
What are the chances of an oral hpv infection leading to an oral cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High risk: 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 cancers than tobacco or alcohol, a new study finds. The study found that the rate of hpv-related oral cancer rose from 0.8 cases per 100, 000 people in the 1980s to 2.6 cases per 100, 000 people in the 2000s —.
