[|Human|] My Husband had HPV caused throat cancer . We were wondering if I could have it even though my paps have been fine and if I could have cancer in my tonsils also? How do you check for HPV in your tonsils?
[|AI|]  Hi, The chances of getting oral infection and carcinogenic (HPV positive Pharyngeal cancer)are less(1.3 %) when compared to genital involvement and still more rare in females. Repeating the Pap regularly is very much requirement.  HPV type 16 is one type commonly involved in Pharyngeal cancers, there are some specific tests like E6 and E7 mRNA detection Protect HPV-Proofer, (HPV Protect) or p16 cell-cycle protein levels which are examples of new molecular markers. According to published results these markers, which are highly sensitive and specific, allow identifying cells going through malignant transformation. Thanks for visiting Chat Doctor .com Bye
