BETHESDA, Md., June 17 (UPI) -- A test may one day detect human papillomavirus to identify those of increased risk of HPV-related oral cancer as a result of oral sex, U.S. researchers say.
Scientists at the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, in collaboration with the International Agency for Research on Cancer found at least 1-in-3 individuals with oral cancer had antibodies to HPV, compared to less than 1-in-100 individuals without cancer.
