Original Note:
This article's headline is misleading. Oral sex by itself will not lead to throat cancer, but human papillomavirus (HPV) transmitted via oral sex is cited in the article as the risk factor for throat cancer. This is known information of course: https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/hpv/basic_info/hpv_oropharyngeal.htm
