HPV's Growing Role in Head and Neck Cancer: A Closer Look

Some head and neck cancers, which affect areas like the tonsils and tongue, are now linked to the HPV virus.

These cancers are becoming more common in men.

HPV spreads through skin contact, including oral sex.

Men are more likely to get and keep HPV infections.

Symptoms can be mild, such as a sore throat, and early check-ups are important.

Getting vaccinated against HPV is the best way to prevent these cancers.
