Shoot, I didn’t even think of that! It was a series question :-)

Sorry. My dirty mind strikes again.

How about “neck cancers”? Are you talking about esophagal cancer?

I was talking primarily about oropharyngeal and laryngeal cancers, which, according to this particular study, had the highest incidence of HPV 16 in tissue samples - 68.7% in laryngeal samples - but the study mentioned the entire oral cavity.

Incidentally, the same study also found that smoking and drinking rates were much higher in the people with the HPV 16 infected tissue samples.
