64. A Multitude of Treatment Options for Head and Neck Cancer | Dr. Vivian Wu
Manage episode 478632270 series 3488064
Human Papillomavirus, or HPV, is a virus that infects the skin and wet surfaces of the body. It's a disease that's commonly spread through sexual activity, and over 80% of people will get it at some point in their lifetime. HPV is an endemic disease, which, in epidemiology, means that it is constantly present in a particular population. While most people recover from HPV, there can be complications. It is responsible for more than 90% of anal and cervical cancers and can also cause oropharyngeal cancer. Dr. Wu, a board-certified otolaryngologist, specializes in head and neck surgical oncology. Diseases like HPV and cancers that affect the head and neck are what she sees most in her patients. Working closely with other multispecialty experts at PNI, Dr. Wu is committed to guiding her patients through their cancer journeys. Listen in.
