Rectal cancer in gay men

Some gay and bisexual men might have a higher risk of anal cancer. Knowing about these cancers and what you can do to help lower your risk or find them early (when the cancer is small and might be easier to treat) may help save your life.

Men who have sex with men are at higher risk for anal and oral cancers. Learn about screenings and ways to reduce these risks with HPV and hepatitis B vaccinations.
