Oral Cancer is on the rise! Young adults are now a demonstrable portion of new oral cancer cases due to the increase in oral human papilloma virus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted disease. Tobacco and alcohol further increase the risk, but 70% of oropharyngeal cancers may be associated with HPV.
