Oral sex linked to throat cancer Test tubes Scientists looked at tissue samples from patients A virus contracted through oral sex is the cause of some throat cancers, say US scientists. HPV infection was found to be a much stronger risk factor than tobacco or alcohol use, the Johns Hopkins University study of 300 people found. The New England Journal of Medicine study said the risk was almost nine times higher for people who reported oral sex with more than six partners. But experts said a larger study was needed to confirm the findings. HPV infection is the cause of the majority of cervical cancers, and 80% of sexually active women can expect to have an HPV infection at some point in their lives. It is important for health care providers to know that people without the traditional risk factors of tobacco and alcohol use can nevertheless be at risk of oropharyngeal cancer Dr Gypsyamber D'Souza, study author The Johns Hopkins study took blood and saliva from 100 men and women newly diagnosed with oropharyngeal cancer which affects the throat, tonsils and back of the tongue. They also asked questions about sex practices and other risk factors for the disease, such as family history. Those who had evidence of prior oral HPV infection had a 32-fold increased risk of throat cancer. HPV16 - one of the most common cancer-causing strains of the virus - was present in the tumours of 72% of cancer patients in the study. Risk factors There was no added risk for people infected with HPV who also smoked and drank alcohol, suggesting the virus itself is driving the risk of the cancer. Oral sex was said to be the main mode of transmission of HPV but the researchers said mouth-to-mouth transmission, for example through kissing, could not be ruled out. Most HPV infections clear with little or no symptoms but a small percentage of people who acquired high-risk strains may develop a cancer, the researchers added. Study author Dr Gypsyamber D'Souza said: "It is important for health care providers to know that people without the traditional risk factors of tobacco and alcohol use can nevertheless be at risk of oropharyngeal cancer." Co-researcher Dr Maura Gillison said previous research by the team had suggested there was a strong link. But she added: "People should be reassured that oropharyngeal cancer is relatively uncommon and the overwhelming majority of people with an oral HPV infection probably will not get throat cancer." A vaccine which protects against cervical cancer caused by HPV strains 6, 11, 16 and 18, and also against genital warts is available and the researchers said the study provided a rationale for vaccinating both girls and boys. But whether the vaccine would protect against oral HPV infection is not yet known. Dr Julie Sharp, science information officer at Cancer Research UK, said: "There is conflicting evidence about the role of HPV, and this rare type of mouth cancer. "As this was a small study, further research is needed to confirm these observations." "We know that after age, the main causes of mouth cancer are smoking or chewing tobacco or betel nut, and drinking too much alcohol."

All at once?
No, that would be lockjaw or something.
Supporters of Bush and the Iraq war for Israel and oil are traitors to America and they hate American troops.
I vote we censor this nonsense immediately !
Some say freedom isn't free; I agree, but submission to fascism costs you everything including your pride

HPV infection was found to be a much stronger risk factor than tobacco or alcohol use This is a poorly written article. It isn't "A virus" it is HPV. This article is also trying to push that vaccine on "boys and girls". Also scaring people with #s like 80%. Life can be much safer than anything in this article, but a safer lifestyle is not promoted one iota.

Garbage really. Posted it to have it ripped, good job.
99% of them are fags. The other 1% are whores. Since the article did not mention sexual orientation, I assume the diseased are homosexuals, just the way when race is never mentioned in a heinous crime, that means the perps are black.

All I can say is that yesterday the police blotter reported a Starbucs being robbed by three armed black men at 2:30 in the frikking afternoon, one of whom popped a round off in the store. The newspaper, The horrible "Colorado Springs Gazette", reported nearly the same virbage, yet, due the their commitment to informing the public, omitted the racial information.
On a related note; from the 'wkwe' archives: (AP) -- Women who perform the act of fellatio and swallow semen on a regular basis, one to two times a week, may reduce their risk of breast cancer by up to 40 percent, a North Carolina State University study found. Doctors had never suspected a link between the act of fellatio and breast cancer, but new research being performed at North Carolina State University is starting to suggest that there could be an important link between the two. In a study of over 15,000 women suspected of having performed regular fellatio and swallowed the ejaculatory fluid, over the past ten years, the researchers found that those actually having performed the act regularly, one to two times a week, had a lower occurance of breast cancer than those who had not. There was no increased risk, however, for those who did not regularly perform. "I think it removes the last shade of doubt that fellatio is actually a healthy act," said Dr. A.J. Kramer of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, who was not involved in the research. "I am surprised by these findings, but am also excited that the researchers may have discovered a relatively easy way to lower the occurance of breast cancer in women." The University researchers stressed that, though breast cancer is relatively uncommon, any steps taken to reduce the risk would be a wise decision. "Only with regular occurance will your chances be reduced, so I encourage all women out there to make fellatio an important part of their daily routine," said Dr. Helena Shifteer, one of the researchers at the University. "Since the emergence of the research, I try to fellate at least once every other night to reduce my chances." The study is reported in Friday's Journal of Medical Research. In 1991, 43,582 women died of breast cancer, as reported by the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Len Lictepeen, deputy chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society, said women should not overlook or "play down" these findings. "This will hopefully change women's practice and patterns, resulting in a severe drop in the future number of cases," Lictepeen said. Sooner said the research shows no increase in the risk of breast cancer in those who are, for whatever reason, not able to fellate regularly. "There's definitely fertile ground for more research. Many have stepped forward to volunteer for related research now in the planning stages," he said. Almost every woman is, at some point, going to perform the act of fellatio, but it is the frequency at which this event occurs that makes the difference, say researchers. Also key seems to be the protein and enzyme count in the semen, but researchers are again waiting for more test data. The reasearch consisted of two groups, 6,246 women ages 25 to 45 who had performed fellatio and swallowed on a regular basis over the past five to ten years, and 9,728 women who had not or did not swallow. The group of women who had performed and swallowed had a breast cancer rate of 1.9 percent and the group who had not had a breast cancer rate of 10.4 percent. "The findings do suggest that there are other causes for breast cancer besides the absence of regular fellatio," Shafteer said. "It's a cause, not THE cause." -30- Wkwe comments: Guys...why 'Race for the Cure' when there's a much easier way to keep your wife/significant other on the road to good health?

This must make for interesting conversation at a cancer survivor therapy group.

Uh oh.

Human sperm contains RNA but not as much as is found in Cod, Herring, Sardines and beef liver. RNA is available as a supplement. Dr Benjamin Frank wrote Dr Frank's Anti-Aging Diet book 30 years ago. He found RNA to be the key to prolonging good health in old age. RNA acts as a food for the DNA which contains the cellular memory. He said that wrinkles are often an RNA deficiency disease which can be reversed. He was able to reverse wrinkles and take 10% off the age appearance of his patients. If you take the supplement on days you don't eat one of the 4 foods mentioned above, I would suggest a daily total of 1.8 grams. Please note I did not list other types of fish.

Locally, a couple of days ago, at our very robber-friendly Wachovia branch, a blond female driving a BMW convertible made off with an "undisclosed" amount of jack. That store seems to get hit almost monthly.
