In this episode of the “CURE Talks Cancer” podcast, we spoke with Jason Mendelsohn, a stage 4 HPV-related throat cancer survivor who created a web site geared to raising awareness about HPV-related cancers.

With no symptoms besides a lump in his neck, Jason Mendelsohn was devastated to discover he was being diagnosed with stage 4 HPV-related throat cancer at the age of 44.

Determined to raise awareness about these types of cancers, as well as their vaccines, screening and treatments, Jason created a website called SupermanHPV.com and recently joined a congressional briefing to help others understand the elimination of HPV-related cancer is within reach.
