Radiation oncologist Dr. Sandeep Kumar Tula stressed the importance of early detection and HPV vaccination at a cancer awareness session in Hyderabad, stating that widespread immunisation can prevent up to 90 per cent of HPV-related cancers, including cervical cancer.
Researchers from Universidad Nacional de Cordoba in Argentina found that men are highly susceptible to HPV infections, which can lead to serious issues such as an increased risk of genital warts and cancers of the mouth, throat, penis, and anus. However, the most significant concern is the potential for infertility.
This type of cancer is not only preventable but also treatable, especially when identified in its early stages. Regular screenings, HPV vaccination, and lifestyle choices are pivotal in minimizing the risk of cervical cancer.
