I found an interesting paper a few days ago related to the oropharyngeal cancer issue. The polyp issue is of great concern to me (a male), since I currently have both HPV and chronic nasal polyps, where onset occurred at almost the same time:
It didn’t occur to me, or even to the physicians at the clinics I visited, that there was a possible link. I actually found the reference while doing a Google search for HPV at the CDC’s website. Absolutely none of the nasal polyp pages I’ve visited over the past couple of years have ever suggested a link to HPV, which is of little benefit for other chronic nasal polyp sufferers who might not realize the connection.
Of course, I’ve set up an appointment at the clinic. I’m hoping something can be done, because these polyps have been driving me crazy for a while now. It would be lovely to sleep and smell well again.
