Article about HPV and H&N cancers

I ran across an older article, but a new one to me and thought I would share it. It is from HemOnc today. I did use the tiny.url site to make the link smaller.
With the prevalence of HPV+ cancers increasing, I encourage all of you who have daughters, AND SONS, to have them vaccinated with the HPV vaccine. I know it was discussed with my daughter when she was a teen, but no one even mentioned it to my son. I think we think about it more for girls because it can reduce the liklihood cervical cancer, but our sons need to know about this also.
here is the link for the article: http://tinyurl.com/hlvlvwa
