À propos de cet audio
Tobacco and alcohol are widely known causes of head and neck cancers — but did you know there are other lesser-known, hidden risk factors? In this episode, Dr. Anand Subhash uncovers these silent threats and explains how even non-smokers may be at risk.Hidden Risk Factors You Should Know:
HPV (Human Papillomavirus): A sexually transmitted virus that can cause oropharyngeal cancers, even in people who’ve never smoked.
Poor Oral Hygiene: Chronic irritation from sharp teeth, poor dental care, or ill-fitting dentures can increase cancer risk.
Occupational Exposure: Prolonged contact with wood dust, industrial chemicals, or heavy metals without safety measures raises risk.
Genetic & Immune Factors: Family history, HIV, or immunosuppression post-transplant can make you more vulnerable.
You don’t have to smoke or drink to be at risk. Dr. Subhash emphasizes that awareness of these lesser-known factors is key to early detection and prevention. This episode is a wake-up call for everyone — especially those who assume they are “low risk.”
Listen Now and stay one step ahead with awareness that could save lives.
