Father and Son
I was diagnosed August 2017 HPV HandN cancer, however, my father was diagnosed 5 years ago with the same thing. He was 72, still cancer free, I am 57, anyone ever heard of this before? The docs say it is nothing.

Brothers
Not father and son, but brothers. My husband was treated 5 years agp for ssc of the piriform sinus with 2 lymph nodes affected as well. Last month, his brother was diagnosed with base of tongue ssc hpv+. My husband had none of the risk factors othr than being a 55 year old male. His brother smoked, but quit the day he was told. My husband has his 5 year check up next week. I plan to ask his doctor about the role genectics may play.
