Throat cancer from hpv

Common Questions and Answers about Throat cancer from hpv

throat

Avatar n tn Even for women who develop a mild dysplasia from HPV - only 1% will go on to develop cancer. 1% - that is all, and that not 1% of all women, that's not 1% of all women who have HPV that is 1% of the small percentage of women that will actually develop the mildest level of dysplasia and it is more likely for a women to have complications from it than a man. So it is rare.

Avatar n tn Is it possible I have some viral infection from the HPV in my throat, possibly cancer? Would symptoms appear that quickly? Should I go to an OBGYN or an MD to check this out? And what tests should I get done (std testing, tests for hyper-/hypo thyroidism, cancer screening)?
Avatar f tn I having been reading that hpv also causes throat cancer. Is there anyone who was diagnosed with hpv cervical dyplasia and later had a problem with others cancers?
Avatar m tn Currently I don’t think anyone has a concrete answer on the possibility of infection or transfer rate of HPV from genital to mouth or mouth to genital. HPV can be passed from genitals to mouth, but at what riskier rate I’ve not seen. Lesions or cancer can be a factor of HPV of the throat.
Avatar n tn Yes, HPV can infect the throat and it may be related to cancer of the throat (not the mouth) HOWEVER, the risks for these cancers appear to be influenced far, far more by previously described risk factor such as smoking (this is the biggest one) and heavy drinking. The contribution of HPV to cancer of the throat remains unquantified and is at most only a small fraction of the cotribution due to smoking and heavy drinking. 2.
Avatar f tn I have been reading that HPV is linked to throat cancer, so i am EXTREMELY worried and anxious!! I am going to the doctor next week. My questions are.... 1. My GYN told me I was now immune to the strain of HPV i have, even though I may be immune could i still get warts? 2. I thought low risk strains caused warts and high risk strains caused cancer. I had both warts and dysplasia....Is there a strain that can cause both? or do i have 2 strains? 3.
Avatar f tn Is there such a test that can detect HPV in the mouth/throat? If I had developed HPV in the mouth/throat, is it likely that the virus traveled throughout my whole body system including my cervix even though I did not have intercourse with this person? ( Is that why HPV can only be detected by vaginal swabs for females even if it was contraced orally?) I recently took a blood test for HIV and syphillis, which I am both negative.
Avatar m tn First, the HPV types (primairly HPV -6 and -11) that cause warts are different from the one (HPV-16) associated with thoat cancer. Second, despite all the news reports about oral/throat cancer related to HPV, it amounts to only about 6,000 cases per year in the entire country -- a very rare cancer! In 30+ years in a busy STD clinic, I never once saw a patient with oral HPV the he or she caught from his or her own genital infection. It doesn't happen. Put HPV in perspective.
Avatar m tn -And oral HPV rarely progresses to cancer; throat cancer due to HPV remains a rare problem, despite lots of media attention to it in recent years. -First, oral warts are rare, even in people who regularly perform oral sex on partners with genital warts. It is very unlikely you will ever have a serious complication of oral HPV or that you will be a risk to future sex partners.
Avatar m tn The only important health consequence of oral HPV is cancer of the throat, which is caused by only one HPV type (HPV-16). Even in those with HPV-16, probably under 1 in 1,000 develop cancer. In the entire United States, there are only about 10,000 such cancers per year -- i.e. it's quite rare -- and I imagine the rates are about the same in the UK and the rest of Europe, including Turkey.

Avatar m tn Your fears of oral HPV and oral cancer have no basis. Although certain throat cancers are caused by one HPV type (HPV-16), such cancers still are rare. Apparently you have not read the thread linked above, and the other threads linked there. At least two of those discussions go into detail about oral HPV and cancer. You should find the information reassuring. Read them.
Avatar n tn I came across in a magizine at work about this also being linked to throat cancer and have been pretty worried ever since. I would think if I had HPV 16 my husband would have too, and I have been performing oral sex on him for years 7/8 years hundrends of times. I feel like my case is a little different than others about this topic bc I had abnormal cells "down there" so wouldnt there be a good chance i have them in my throat as well being exposed to it many times?
Avatar n tn I wanted to comment in general that the most common cause of oral cancer is HPV. I assume then that oral cancer must be rare as well then. I hope people become more aware of these things. i liked your responses. very well put.
Avatar m tn Cervical biopsy determined that she has HPV CIN 1. She said that she got the HPV from her previous boyfriend. She told me that she performed oral sex and had anal sex with her previous boyfriend about 1 year ago. Currently, she had 2 warts on her vagina opening and 1 on the anus opening.
Avatar f tn doesn't sound at all like throat cancer. give strep time to clear up . have you ahd your gardasil hpv shot series yet?
Avatar f tn Second, here is from another website (Web MD) about research showing that someone whose throat cancer did come from HPV is not likely to spread it to his or her kissing partners. "Spouses and long-term partners of patients with HPV-related oral cancers appear to have no increased risk of oral HPV infections, according to the results of a new study led by Johns Hopkins investigators.
Avatar n tn The only important health consequence of oral HPV is cancer of the throat, which is caused by only one HPV type (HPV-16). Even in those with HPV-16, probably under 1 in 1,000 develop cancer." http://www.medhelp.org/posts/STDs/Oral-hpv-from-cin3/show/1676183 In the first one, by my understanding, he says that most of people with oral HPV-16 WILL develop throat cancer.
Avatar m tn and you can get hpv in your mouth and your throat from what i have read up on the internet.she would need to go to std clinic to get checked and yourself. i dont know if there is any anti-biotics or anything for oral hpv.
Avatar n tn How long does HPV cancer generally take to progress/spread? Could it potentially spread from the throat area to the hard palate region? These will be my last questions and I am truly grateful for your time.
