The HPV vaccine, known for preventing cervical cancer in women, has shown to decrease the incidence of cancers in the mouth and throat in men who received the shot compared to those who didn't.
Vaccinated men had a reduced risk of developing various HPV-related cancers, including those of the anus, penis, mouth, and throat, as evidenced by a study comparing 3.4 million individuals.
The study indicates an early wave of positive effects from the HPV vaccine on cancer prevention, with further benefits expected to materialize over the next few decades.
While vaccination rates are increasing, males in the US still have lower HPV vaccination rates compared to females, according to research presented by the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
