I believe this has something to do with the cell types lining the cervical area...which is easier for the tumor cell to take hold. 90% of cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinomas, which are slow growing malignant tumors found in lungs and skin, and also occuring in the anus, cervix, larynx, nose, and bladder. Apparently the disease does not hit the men’s pelvic area the same way it does ours, to cause cancer.
I am also a mother of a 14 year old daughter. I took her to get the vaccine last year. I was worried that even if she did abstain, her eventual marriage partner might not.
CJ is a physician, which is why i pinged him to answer the question as to whether the vaccine would be effective in males. I am the mother of 14 and 20 yo females. my 20 yo turned it down on her own, at the gynecologist, as we had fully discussed it. i declined it on behalf of my 14 yo. we are not ignorant, my husband and i are both lawyers, we are informed.
