• A Case-Control Nutrigenomic Study on the Synergistic Activity of Folate and Vitamin B12 in Cervical Cancer Progression - Nutr Cancer. 2012 Apr 20 - "methylene tetrahydrofolatereductase (MTHFR) gene ... Serum folate, vitamin B12 (chemiluminescence assay), and homocysteine (EIA) along with genetic polymorphisms of MTHFR gene (polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism) were analyzed for 136 control subjects, 92 low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) subjects, and 94 invasive cervical cancer cases (ICC). Statistically significant associations between MTHFR polymorphisms, serum homocysteine, and folate levels with cervical carcinogenesis were not evident, but we found that these parameters acted as effect modifiers of serum vitamin B12. The risk estimates observed for B12 became prominent only when there was a deficiency in serum folate levels [LSIL-odds ratio (OR): 14.9 (95% CI: 2.65 to 84.4); ICC-OR = 8.72 (95% CI = 1.55 to 48.8)] or when MTHFR A1298C polymorphic variant was present [LSIL-OR = 9.8 (95% CI = 2.61 to 36.7); ICC-OR = 10.0 (95%CI = 2.5 to 39.3)]. The statistical significance of this effect modification was further studied using an interaction model, where only folate was observed to have an influence on B12 levels as suggested by the odds ratio of 7.11 (95% CI = 0.45 to 111.9) obtained for ICC group, implicating a synergistic role of these 2 vitamins in invasive cervical cancer" - See folic acid products at Amazon.com and vitamin B12 at Amazon.com.

• Few young adult men have gotten the HPV vaccine - Science Daily, 4/27/21 - "just 16% of men who were 18 to 21 years old had received at least one dose of the HPV vaccine at any age ... I don't think that a lot of people, both providers and patients, are aware that this vaccine is actually a cancer-prevention vaccine for men as well as women ... But HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer can impact anyone -- and there's no good screening for it, which makes vaccination even more important" - Note: Stupid. I had stage III neck cancer (cancer of the tonsil that spread to the lymph nodes in the neck and it was the size of a golf ball). The five-year survival was 25%. For two years they told me I was going to die. I refused chemo and radiation and just had surgery and was going to let nature run its course. That was in 2004 so they must have gotten it all but I have a scar from in back of my left ear to my collar bone and from the middle of that to my Adam's apple. It healed well though. I doubt if anyone notices it. I still can't eat certain foods because it gets stuck in my throat.

In multivariable logistic regression models, oral HPV infection had a statistically significant association with self-rated overall oral health (OR = 1.55; 95% CI, 1.15-2.09), independent of smoking and oral sex. In conclusion, poor oral health was an independent risk factor of oral HPV infection, irrespective of smoking and oral sex practices"
