Throat Cancer Foundation The Throat Cancer Foundation raises awareness of the cancers that can affect the throat.

We support people affected, campaign for prevention and earlier diagnosis, and help the public understand symptoms, risks and impact. We are a charity who aim to raise awareness of cancers that affect the head, chest, mouth and neck, and to prevent future cases by funding research into prevention and cure and campaigning for universal HPV vaccination. Visit our website at www.throatcancerfoundation.org for information and support.

Was the HPV vaccination offered?

Was it received?

If you are unsure, please check rather than assume.

Look at the vaccination record or contact the relevant school immunisation team, GP practice or NHS vaccination service for advice. Eligibility and catch-up arrangements can vary across the UK.

One simple check could identify a missed opportunity for protection.

Checking their record is better than assuming they’re protected.

The HPV vaccine protects against types of HPV that can cause several cancers—including cancers affecting the mouth and throat.

It cannot prevent every cancer. But it can help prevent HPV infections that may otherwise lead to cancer many years later.

That is why vaccination matters: protection is offered long before the potential consequences become visible.

HPV vaccination is better than a preventable cancer.

Most people will encounter HPV at some point in their lives.

In most cases, the immune system clears the infection without it causing any harm. But some high-risk types can persist and may eventually lead to cancer—including cancers affecting the throat.

There should be no shame and no stigma attached to HPV. But there must be better awareness.

People deserve to understand the connection before they are facing a diagnosis.

Knowing about HPV is better than never being warned.

Prevention where we can. Earlier diagnosis where we can’t.

💙 Your £10 could help provide 100 guides for people facing throat cancer and the people they love.

A diagnosis can leave someone struggling to take everything in. Later, at home, more questions arise.

“What is HPV?”
“Is my partner at risk?”
“Have I done something wrong?”

Our HPV and Throat Cancer guide helps patients and their loved ones understand what they’ve been told, address worries and talk about difficult questions without judgement or blame.

It is something they can take home, read in their own time and share with the people closest to them.

A small donation can help make that information available:

💙 £5 covers printing 50 guides.
💙 £10 covers printing 100 guides.
💙 £25 covers printing 250 guides.

We provide these guides free of charge. Your support helps us print them and get them into the hands of people who need answers.

Behind every guide is a person facing a diagnosis, a partner trying to understand, or a family wanting to help.

Please donate today and help us keep these guides free.

Cancer treatment can save lives. But it can also involve surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and lasting changes to speaking, swallowing and everyday life.

If a cancer can be prevented from developing in the first place, that must always be our ambition.

This does not mean that every cancer is preventable—or that anyone is to blame for their diagnosis.

It means making full use of prevention wherever it is genuinely possible.

Preventing a cancer is better than treating it.

Prevention rarely feels urgent—because the consequences may be years away.

But action taken today can protect someone’s health far into the future.

That is the purpose of HPV vaccination: protection against types of HPV that can cause several cancers, including cancers of the mouth and throat.

The vaccination happens now. The cancer it may help prevent could otherwise appear decades later.

Protection today is better than treatment tomorrow.

Not every cancer can be prevented. But that must never become an excuse for ignoring the cancers that can.

Some risks can be reduced. Some cancer-causing infections can be prevented. Some warning signs can be acted upon sooner.

The first step is knowing what is possible.

Because knowing what’s preventable is better than leaving it to chance.

Prevention where we can. Earlier diagnosis where we can’t.

“I thought it would go away.”

“I didn’t want to make a fuss.”

“I meant to arrange an appointment.”

These are understandable thoughts. But when a possible throat cancer symptom persists, waiting does not provide reassurance—getting it checked does.

Most symptoms will not be cancer. But if something has lasted for around three weeks, please seek medical advice.

Acting now is better than regretting it later.

Prevention where we can. Earlier diagnosis where we can’t.
