Men Who Smoke and Have Oral Sex With Multiple Partners Have a Higher Cancer Risk

Smoking cigarettes, along with having five or more oral sex partners, increases men’s risk for the most common type of head and neck cancer. A study published Friday in Annals of Oncology finds these patterns of behavior are associated with oral and throat cancers caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).

Public health experts already know from a large body of research—including a study published earlier this week—that men who have multiple oral sex partners are at higher risk for contracting oral HPV. But it turns out that when a man also smokes the risk is even higher."
