#DYK, HPV infection can cause oral, head, and neck cancers?
Oral, head, and neck cancers include cancers of the larynx, throat, lips, mouth, nose, and salivary glands. Tobacco use, heavy alcohol use, and infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) can increase the risk of head and neck cancers. Head and neck cancer symptoms may include a lump in the neck or a sore in the mouth or the throat that does not heal and may be painful, a sore throat that does not go away, difficulty swallowing, or a change or hoarseness in the voice. These symptoms may also be caused by other, less serious conditions. It is important to check with a doctor or dentist if you are experiencing any of these symptoms.
Completing the HPV vaccine series is essential to building maximum protection against HPV and the cancers it causes. Vaccination is recommended for boys and girls before they are exposed to HPV, beginning at age 9. Talk with your child’s healthcare provider to see if they are due for HPV vaccination and help keep them safe from future HPV-associated cancers.
