While the prognosis remains good for individuals with HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancers, the incidence of these cancers continues to rise, and researchers are currently seeking less intense treatment options that are equally effective but not as toxic for patients. Oncogenic HPV infection is now a recognized etiology in approximately half of oropharyngeal squamous cell cancers. HPV-positive cancers typically have better outcomes and a lower likelihood of second primary cancers than their HPV-negative counterparts.

Vaccines are a highly politicized subject in many countries. Just look at Donald Trump's repeated claims in the Republican presidential race that childhood vaccinations cause autism. In Japan, a vigorous debate is underway over the safety of vaccinations against HPV, a virus that can lead to cervical cancer. Opponents say the vaccines — which have been given to more than 80 million girls and women around the world in the past nine years — are dangerous and cause mobility problems that can sometimes be severe.

Human papillomavirus is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the U.S. according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That fact alone makes the work of James Bashkin, a professor of chemistry at the University of Missouri–St. Louis, important.

When people hear about vaccine deniers — anti-vaxxers, to some — they most often think about parents who are refusing to vaccinate their children. But there's another type of vaccine refusal, and it's important that we not ignore that. Doctors sometimes promote the use of some vaccines with less enthusiasm than others. Sometimes, they don’t talk about them at all. This occurs most often with the human papillomavirus, or HPV, vaccine. The low immunization rates with this vaccine, and the behaviors of the physicians who might be contributing to that, have consequences.

 Although a newer field of medicine, transplants of various forms have now become commonplace in the attempts to save lives and improve quality of life for patients. Currently, successful transplants have been performed of kidneys, pancreas, liver, lungs and heart, to name a few. Now, the uterus may be added to the list of viable options — once again pushing the envelope of possibilities in transplant and reproductive medicine.

In the home of the blues, amid dying towns, gravel backroads and endless Mississippi Delta farmland, cancer grows, spreads and kills mercilessly — even the types that can be caught or stopped with well-known screening tests.
Here, 73-year-old Ruby Huffman got her first colonoscopy only after passing blood, and it found a huge cancerous tumor. Sixty-one-year-old Rita Stiles went at least a decade without a mammogram. And 55-year-old Tina Williams has had only one Pap smear in her life.

An online health clinic warns that oral sex could surpass smoking as the main risk factor for mouth and throat cancer. Before, extreme alcohol consumption and chewing tobacco were the primary causes of mouth cancers. Current research led by Euroclinix reveals there's been an increase in cases caused by HPV (human papillomavirus).

Tapeworms are bad enough. They get inside people, lay their eggs, and cause symptoms such as diarrhea and weakness. And they can infest a body for a lifetime. It's the first time a parasite has been found to spread cancer. Viruses and bacteria can cause cancer — the human papillomavirus (HPV) causes cervical and anal cancer and Helicobacter pylori bacteria cause stomach cancer. But no one thought a tapeworm could do it, until now.
