It’s really real in these streets. A virus spread “orally” may cause more cases of throat cancer in men than smoking, a finding that triggered calls for a new large-scale test of a drug used against the infection.

The burden of cancer caused by HPV is going to shift from women to men in this decade,” Maura Gillison, an oncologist at Ohio State University and study senior author, said in a telephone interview. What we believe is happening is that the number of sexual partners and exposure to HPV has risen over that same time period.
