HPV: Treating Cancer Caused by Viruses (Science Bulletins)

Scientists estimate that as much as 17% of all cancers are caused by viruses, including human papillomaviruses (HPV), a ubiquitous viral family. In this new documentary by Science Bulletins, the American Museum of Natural History's current-science video program, doctors and molecular biologists uncover HPV's complex life history to treat cervical and oral cancers -- and even prevent them. This video was funded by a NIH Science Education Partnership Award.

The conclusion that HPV causes oral cancer is not proven. (See New England Journal of Medicine, Sept 1997 issue for discussion). Deciding that since the patient didn't smoke or drink they must have it from HPV is unscientific and causes fear of normal sexual behaviors. Drinking very hot tea or coffee IS a known risk factor, did the doctor ask about this?
