Anyone see the article yesterday about the massive rise in oral cancers caused seemingly by HPV?

I was expecting it to be about vapes, but nope.

I've not seen the news. Here's some info from Cancer Research -

There are over 100 types of HPV and each one has a number. The main type of HPV found in mouth and oropharyngeal cancer is HPV 16. HPV causes around 25 out of 100 mouth and oropharyngeal cancers (around 25%) in the UK.

The link to HPV is much stronger for oropharyngeal cancers than it is for mouth cancers.

In recent years there has been an increase in HPV positive oropharyngeal cancer. Compared to HPV negative oropharyngeal cancer, people with HPV positive oropharyngeal cancers:

are generally younger

do not usually smoke

drink little or no alcohol

People with HPV positive oropharyngeal cancer usually have a better outlook (prognosis) compared to those with HPV negative oropharyngeal cancers.

I read an article mentioning it. Since the cases have zoomed up in the last decade I still can't help thinking vapes are involved somehow, I mean HPV isn't really a new thing is it.

In the us cervical cancer is also increasing. This is a head scratcher because Merck's fast tracked hpv vaccine was supposed to have solved this problem.

I think with all of these it's usually down to detection improvements. That and infections have a peak curve. The more people infected the more people can be infected. While the vaccine is great annually it changes to cover new strains so the strains that were not covered are still causing risk. Also countries like Ireland with Catholic ethos have only just started vaccinating boys. There are lots of possible reasons for the rise in numbers. Let's just hope the drop is coming soon.

Is it the case that by your 30,s or 40’s most people have HPV or have been exposed to it? So maybe it’s more about what is causing HPV to turn cancerous?

I may have got this wrong but it’s my understanding

Knowing somone who has it and suffered the awful surgery to go with it, it can turn cancerous long after infection, many years apparently. From what I can gather the infection is found in nearly everyone, but males are more susceptible for it becoming cancerous.
