HPV-related throat cancer: What you need to know | My conversation with Dr. Ben Judson

Did you know that throat cancer is about as common as melanoma or thyroid cancer? Did you know that about 70-80% of these are related to Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)? And did you know that the HPV vaccine is nearly 100% effective in preventing these cancers? The famous actor, Michael Douglas, was diagnosed with this disease, but many still may not know a lot about it. I sit down with Dr. Ben Judson of Yale to discuss vaccines, prevention, biology, and treatment of these cancers! And, the conversation continues on our radio show/podcast, Yale Cancer Answers... see link below.
