Oral Sex Can Threaten Lung

Research returned to give evidence that oral sex activity meripakan entrance which is ideal for the spread of infectious diseases and cancer.
Experts in the United States joined the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) at the American Association for Cancer Research, in Orlando, Florida presents a study which indicated that oral sex can increase a person's risk of lung cancer.
Oral sex habits, the researchers say, would very likely lead to lung cancer, especially if you do not make a vaccine HPV (human papillomavirus), types of viruses known to cause sexually transmitted infections. Previous research has also made connections between oral sex with some other cancers such as cancers of the mouth and throat.
In his research, experts from the IARC HPV view found an association with lung cancer after HPV antibodies comparing patients from 1633 to 2729 lung cancer patients who were suffering from lung cancer. The results showed that HPV was associated with an increased risk of lung cancer by 30 percent.
HPV is known to cause mutations in cells that trigger cancer in organs such as bersentuhkan directly to the cervix or throat virus through oral sex. But how HPV can reach the lungs?
"It is believed that the HPV in the mouth can enter the lungs through the mucus (phlegm) and lead to infection of the respiratory tract and may lead to cancer," said Anantharaman Devasena, Ph.D., IARC researchers who compiled the study.
Although HPV is proven to penetrate the lungs, the study further emphasizes the need to find out if it is true that cancer-causing HPV virus in the lungs.
At present, there were about 150 different HPV types and 40 types of which can lead to sexually transmitted diseases. Some of which cause genital warts and the rest can increase the risk of oral cancer, anal, vagina, and penis.
The types of HPV such as HPV16 and high-risk HPV18 is known to cause 70 percent of cervical cancer cases. HPV6 and HPV11 while the type, which cause diseases such as genital warts, said Anantharaman, also found in papillomatosis, a type of mild lung infection.
Currently it has available to address the HPV vaccine, but whether the same vaccine will also be effective in preventing lung cancer is still uncertain, said Anantharaman.
