Michael Douglas's announcement that his throat cancer was caused by human papillomavirus, a sexually transmitted disease, has raised awareness about a men's health trend doctors have been alarmed about for years.
...
However, a link between oral sex and throat cancer is no surprise to experts.
"This is not a surprise by any stretch," Dr. Eric Genden, professor and chair of otolaryngology at Icahn School of Medicine at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City, told CBSNews.com. "There's an epidemic of HPV-related throat cancers."
Throat cancer, also known as oropharyngeal cancer, refers to tumors that occur in the tonsils, base of the tongue and upper throat. Smoking and alcohol use have been associated risk factors, but in recent years throat cancers related to the sexually transmitted virus human papillomavirus (HPV) have been on the rise.
HPV is an STD transmitted by oral and genital sex.

Infection rates are sky hi.
BS.
Michael, you ass. Take responsibility and own your copius drinking and smoking.
I should have throat cancer using your line of reasoning
Michael.....tmi....and you’re guessing...please don’t share!!
Be careful of what, no . . . where, . . . no, wait. . .
The throat cancer is from HPV, same strain which causes cervical cancer.
Maybe Michael Douglas did a lot of research to prepare for his role as Liberace in “Behind the Candleraba.”
I was wondering, do threads that mention the Missus Douglas require posting of pics of Mo Dowd?
Hmmm... You got away with posting this piece of news. Congratulations. Five others posted something similar and all of them were rejected. You must have done something right...
We know Michael Douglas has been getting his meals at the Y!
Rick Perry and his underwriters who make Gardisil will be all over this like white on rice.
It’ll get removed once pictures of the Missus get posted.
Well I would think that sodomy would never be conducive to health! There is incurable gonorrhea, and there is oral gonorrhea, so this is just one more step. Slouching toward Gomorrah....
Well, we all have to go somehow, some way......so what the hell; may as well enjoy the ride.
This is Douglas’s last macho moment. It’s a badge of honor.
Gee, free love aint all that free when you factor in all the STDs and whatnot...
I suppose that means the clock is ticking on this thread as well!
I always knew his wife had some reason to stay with him. Now we know.
No telling what he has passed on to her.
