Oral s3x is fueling an ‘epidemic’ of throat cancers, doctor claims
The US and UK are suffering a throat cancer ‘epidemic’ — and
experts point to oral s3x as the culprit.
Dr Hisham Mehanna, from the UK’s University of Birmingham,
said 70 percent of cases of throat cancer are caused by
human papillomavirus (HPV), a normally harmless virus that
is spread sexually and has been linked to multiple forms of
cancers.
Dr Mehanna said people with multiple oral sex partners have
an up to nine-fold increased risk of throat cancer.
There is a vaccine for HPV, but only 54 percent of Americans
have received it — far below the 80 percent figure believed
to be a threshold for population safety.
Dr Mehanna wrote in The Conversation: ‘Over the past two
decades, there has been a rapid increase in throat cancer in
the west, to the extent that some have called it an
epidemic.
‘This has been due to a large rise in a specific type of
throat cancer called oropharyngeal cancer.’
