Michael Douglas has revealed that his throat cancer was caused by performing oral sex.

The actor told The Guardian that HPV was responsible for him being diagnosed with the disease three years ago.

Asked if he regretted smoking and drinking given his battle with cancer, Douglas replied: "No, because without wanting to get too specific, this particular cancer is caused by HPV [human papillomavirus], which actually comes about from cunnilingus.

"I did worry if the stress caused by my son's incarceration didn't help trigger it. But yeah, it's a sexually transmitted disease that causes cancer. And if you have it, cunnilingus is also the best cure for it."

The 68-year-old was diagnosed with stage four cancer in August 2010 when he visited a doctor in Montreal following months of oral discomfort.

"I will always remember the look on his face," Douglas added. "He said: 'We need a biopsy'. There was a walnut-size tumour at the base of my tongue that no other doctor had seen."

He completed an intensive eight-week course of chemotherapy and radiation and has now been clear of cancer for over two years, attending check-ups every six months.

"With this kind of cancer, 95% of the time it doesn't come back," he explained.

Oral cancer specialist Mahesh Kumar said it has been "established beyond reasonable doubt" that "HPV type 16 is the causative agent in oropharyngeal cancer".

He expressed scepticism that Douglas's cancer was caused solely by HPV and said his claim that cunnilingus could help cure the condition "doesn't make sense".

He actually looked okay on Graham norton the other night. He looked so horrible while he was going through the treatments, i expected him to look the same and very frail, but he actually looked really healthy the other night.

As far as the oral sex giving you throat cancer thing, it's true. That's why in school they tell you to use protection when doing oral sex, but honestly, what man has ever used a "dental dam" to perform oral sex?

No one uses protection for oral sex. But it does have it's risks. Like everything else in life.

Hollywood actor Michael Douglas did not say he developed throat cancer because of oral sex, his publicist has said.

Douglas, diagnosed with cancer three years ago, was quoted as telling the Guardian his strain of cancer had been caused by HPV (human papillomavirus).

But in a statement to the BBC, the 68-year-old actor's spokesman sought to clarify that Douglas was not talking about his own cancer.

The World Health Organization says HPV can cause cancer of the head and neck.

In his emailed statement on Monday, Mr Burry said: "No. He did not say oral sex was the cause of his cancer."

The publicist referred to medical evidence linking oral sex to head neck cancer, adding "but [Douglas] did not say it was the cause to his specific cancer".

The Guardian stood by its story, releasing audio of the interview.

In the Guardian's article on Sunday, Douglas was asked if, given his illness, he regretted his years of smoking and drinking.

The actor was quoted as saying: "No. Because without wanting to get too specific, this particular cancer is caused by HPV, which actually comes about from cunnilingus."

He continued: "I did worry if the stress caused by my son's incarceration didn't help trigger it. But yeah, it's a sexually transmitted disease that causes cancer."

Yeah, but no, but yeah .....
