The study summary was obtained from the New York Times publication of 26 th January 2012. The summary was based on the prevalence of human papilloma virus in men which caused oralpharingel carcinoma. The research article used after the insight of the summary in the New York Times was from the journal of American medical association. Published early 2012 the research paper explains the recent extensive research findings on the prevalence of HPV. Study description Author information The author of the summary published in the New York Times is Anahad O’Connor. He is an extensive research summary writer of the New York Times. The research which was based on the American population had its funding from the Ohio state university (O’Connor 1). Major research findings The research indicates that the virus that causes most throat cancers is human papilloma virus (HPV). Being found in the genital area and affecting about 80 %, it is mostly transmitted by sexual means through intimate contact in cases of oral sex (Gillison et al. 2). The report indicated that 6.9 % of the population mainly made of adults and teenagers were infected with the virus causing throat cancer (O’Connor 2). However, another strain of HPV coded HPV type 16 was as well found to cause the disease. The prevalence was found to be three times in men than in women. The research further indicated the identification of more related characteristics that increase the risk of infection such as drug abuse, increased irresponsible sexual activity and the advancing in age (Gillison et al. 2). In rare documented results, the study also shows that the virus can cause genital warts. It can also cause cervical cancer and cancer of the vulva and vagina in women. In both sexes, the virus is reported to cause oral and anal cancers though in small percentages. Benefits of the findings to the society It is now apparent that, the predisposing factors have been put into existing knowledge thus; the society can be educated on the ways of preventing the infection of HPV. The society will as well be informed of the prevalence of the virus. The significance of establishing the rate of prevalence is that, it will aid in the allocation of funds to fight the rate of infection by the state government basing on the raised statistics. Cancer relevance Cancer as it is known is the abnormal growth of tumors on the organs of the body, the abnormality in the cases of infection by HPV is on the cells of the throat and back of the tongue. This causes cancer of the throat and oropharingeal carcinoma. The established statistics help in the improving the efforts put in the management of cancers generally. Relationship to biology 401 Cancer is developed when an abnormal cell growth is experienced in the region. Being the biological basic unit of life, it constitutes the basis of biological involvement. Research into the cancer infections and causative agents involves cellular biological studies which explain the altered shape, size and physiological process of cells (University of Georgia 1). The study itself is an overarching theme which enables the study being continuous process in which the structure and functionality of the cells infected is extensively put into account (University of Georgia 1).
