MSN on-line posted an article on "10 Cancers Fueled by Virus". It is in a slide show format with a brief write-up on each. The first one on the list was "Throat Cancer and HPV" and of course they mentioned Michael Douglas.
Not a lot of detail on it, but at least the word is getting out.

So of the 10 4 were attributed to HPV. We have a vaccine approved for both males and females that has shown nearly a 100% success rate in preventing future infections of HPV, therefore preventing the cancers that infection could have caused. It wouldn't take long to rid the world of all these HPV cancers if 100% of both sexes got the 3 shots.
Here's a related article from Bloomberg News published earlier this week:
Gum Disease Linked to Risk of Oral Cancer Causing Virus.
Spoke with several well respected researchers including Gillison last week about the gum disease study, and 100% of them said this is first rate junk since done at a really good institution. Sometimes the drive to publish, get grants, and so much more generates this drivel.
Interesting to know, Brian. Thanks.
