For several years, doctors urged young women to be vaccinated against human papillomavirus (HPV), which is believed to cause cervical cancer . But now researchers from Europe and the United States began to accuse HPV in a sharp increase in the number of cases Throat Cancer among men. So that young people will now also be encouraged to be vaccinated against HPV.
Experts believe that in recent years people have become much more relaxed in bed. Popularity oral sex It is very high, and this gives rise to a whole epidemic of squamous cell cancers affecting the throat, tonsils and base of the tongue. These types of cancer can be deadly. The saddest thing is that they are now increasingly affect very young men.
"We are doctors, holding a very bad job of educating the information - said Dr. John Dicken, an oncologist at Georgetown University. - Boys and girls should receive the vaccine human papillomavirus . Typically, throat cancer It occurs in people older than 60, who are actively smoking (last vivid example - a disease of the actor Michael Douglas). But today we are seeing this type of cancer in young people, never smoked. "
If 20 years ago, only 20% of oral cancers have been associated with HPV, today the share human papillomavirus more than half of all cases, as they say in a study published by the American Association for Cancer Research. Similar figures in Europe, as it became known after a recent study in Sweden. The level of recovery in this group of patients is higher than among smokers, but it is only about 50%.
