Identify some common types of cancer that are related to AIDS and HPV, and some male sexual behaviors related to prostate cancer risk.
On May 10, 2024
A. Some cancer deaths are from cancers that result from AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). Two common forms are:
1. Kaposi's sarcoma causes lesions on the skin and in the mouth, lungs, bladder, spleen,
adrenal glands, and lymph nodes.
a. This was a rare cancer until the 1980s, mainly in older men of Mediterranean ancestry.
b. Men and women in every age group now contract Kaposi's sarcoma related to AIDS.
c. Gay male AIDS patients are more susceptible to it than people who contracted AIDS through heterosexual contact or using injected drugs.
2. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma causes tumors that grow rapidly and spread through the lymphatic or circulatory system.
a. AIDS patients of both genders and all ages can get this cancer.
b. Most non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients do NOT have AIDS.
B. Unprotected sex with an HIV-positive partner is still the greatest risk for AIDS-related cancers.
C. Exposure to the human papilloma virus (HPV) increases risks for cervical and oral cancers.
1. HPV is the leading cause of cervical cancer.
2. HPV infection rates are high, particularly for young, sexually active persons.
3. Women with earlier first sexual intercourse and many sexual partners are more exposed to HPV, and hence more vulnerable to cervical cancer.
4. Men who have sex with many women who have also had many sexual partners increase their female sex partners' risk for cervical cancer.
5. HPV also causes some oral cancers.
a. Rates of HPV-related oral cancers increased from 16% in the late 1980s to 73% by the early 2000s.
b. Some researchers estimate that by 2020, new diagnoses of HPV-related oral cancers will surpass those of cervical cancers.
c. HPV-related oral cancer is twice as frequent in men as in women.
d. Oral HPV is likely transmitted through oral sex.
e. Oral HPV infections are more likely to persist in people who smoke tobacco.
D. Prostate cancer risk can also be raised by men's sexual behaviors.
1. Researchers found a significant positive correlation between prostate cancer and:
a. Lifetime number of female (but not male) sexual partners
b. Early age of first sexual intercourse
c. Previous gonorrhea infection.
1. The same research did NOT find lifetime frequency of sexual intercourse associated with any risk for prostate cancer.
