This is a special episode. It\\u2019s about my brother-in-law Joel Zimmer who was diagnosed with back of the tongue and tonsil cancer caused by the HPV virus. If you were to tell people that there\\u2019s a form of cancer that\\u2019s sexually transmitted they\\u2019d probably look at you as if you\\u2019re crazy. But there is and cases are on the rise. HPV now causes most of the throat and mouth cancers found in men. You\\u2019ll hear from Joel, oncologists, sex experts and President Joe Biden, whom I interviewed in Washington, D.C. about his family\\u2019s own experience with cancer. Thank you to Offscrip Health for allowing me to share \\u201cSilent Cancer\\u201d on \\u201cNow What?\\u201d \\u201cSilent Cancer\\u201d was produced with the help of Mary Rose Madden and Nick Ciavatta.
