Oral Sex May Cause More Throat Cancer Than Smoking in Men, Researchers Say

[friendz4evr]

A virus spread by oral sex may cause more cases of throat cancer in men than smoking, a finding that spurred calls for a new large-scale test of a drug used against the infection.

Researchers examined 271 throat-tumor samples collected over 20 years ending in 2004 and found that the percentage of oral cancer linked to the human papillomavirus, or HPV, surged to 72 percent from about 16 percent, according to a report released yesterday in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. By 2020, the virus-linked throat tumors -- which mostly affected men -- will become more common than HPV-caused cervical cancer, the report found.

You can/should get the HPV vaccination from your doctor but you'll have to pay for it...3 shots.

Tried to get it about three years ago and they wouldn't give it to men.

Perhaps this has now changed.

That is one thing I never understood, people would not lick an ash tray or an ice cream cone someone else has licked. Yet, they will lick an SPs pussy???.........???

This is why males should have access to the HPV shot!

I like to know how they come up with this info. Do they do tests in a lab on men eating pussy all day. I don't have any kind of cancer and I've been eating pussy for about 41 years.

Read the full article. Firstly the study took samples from EXISTING TUMOURS. The higher percentage could be explained by something as simple as there wre less throat cancers caused by tabacco since less people smoke and chew.

Secondly by 2020 it is predicted there will be a whopping 8,700 cases.

HPV-linked throat cancers, or orophyaryngeal cancer, are increasing so rapidly that by 2020 there will be 8,700 U.S. cases, with 7,400 cases in men, versus 7,700 cases of cervical cancer, the study said

What is not clear is whether this is a cumulative total ( which is sort of inplied) from when they started to gather the info or whether this is an annual total.

Thirdly there is no dicussion about treatment and cure rates. If there was a 100% death rate and these were annual numbers ( both extremely unlikely) they would still be half the rates of the common flu in the US. That is an extreme worst case most likely you can divide all the numbers by 20 or 40.

Lastly, more women than ever are being immunized at a young age ( many Ontario high school girls for instance ) so the "carriers is bound to fall dramatically.

So the sky isn't falling quite yet. In fact it is seen as so unthreatening that no one wants to do any further work on it.

All they did was test people who already had tumours in their throat to see what kind they were. Another sound-bite headline to confuse the easily panicked. Hell even WHO doesn't care much.

Because a nice pussy tastes WAY better than an ashtray. Duh.

apparently alot of the service girls with herpes have a high chance of getting cancer in the lymph nodes also:

Not exactly a respected medical journal but even The Gawker stated the incidence was up an astounding 1.4 per 100,000 in 16 years (not exactly fear inspiring) and there was absolutely no reference to a connection between herpes and cancer in the lymph nodes so I'm not sure where that came from. There is material on herpes increasing the rick of getting cervical cancer

Who doesn't care?

That's because most of them are dead. Of the two still alive, I don't think Townshend even liked pussy.

It's true that many men get throat cancer from oral sex; however, what they left out here is that the vast majority are gay men who get it from other men. DATY is a pretty safe activity.

So the educational poster would read "When you're smoking a cigar, you're smoking a cigar"!
