The spokesman said the 68-year-old &quot;Fatal Attraction&quot; star had discussed the link between oral cancers and oral sex, among other risk factors, but was not referring to his own specific case.u00a0 <img alt="Michael Douglas" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/may/Michael-Douglas_2.jpg" /> &quot;Michael did not say cunnilingus was the cause of his cancer,&quot; spokesman Allen Burry told AFP, referring to the star&#39;s interview with British daily the Guardian. &quot;He certainly discussed oral sex in the article, and oral sex is a suspected cause of certain oral cancers, as the doctors in the article did point out. But he did not say this was the specific cause of his personal cancer.&quot; In the newspaper interview Douglas, who stars in the just-released biopic of flamboyant entertainer Liberace, &quot;Behind The Candelabra,&quot; said his cancer was caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). &quot;Without wanting to get too specific, this particular cancer is caused by HPV, which actually comes about from cunnilingus,&quot; he was quoted as saying. &quot;I did worry if the stress caused by my son&#39;s incarceration didn&#39;t help trigger it. But yeah, it&#39;s a sexually transmitted disease that causes cancer,&quot; he added, referring to his son Cameron&#39;s jailing for drug offenses. But Douglas&#39;s spokesman said the actor was talking in general, not personal terms. &quot;This is not the cause of his cancer,&quot; he said. &quot;Is this a cause of oral cancers? Yes, along with drinking, along with smoking, along with stress, along with pollution. All of those things cause oral cancer. &quot;Did he specifically say this was the cause of his cancer? No,&quot; he added. A spokesman for Guardian News &amp; Media said: &quot;To the best of our knowledge we have received no complaints about the articles in question from Michael Douglas or his representatives. &quot;We would of course investigate any complaints about our journalism that we received.&quot; Burry said he had not sought a correction from the British newspaper. &quot;I&#39;m not asking the Guardian to do anything, I think they did enough already,&quot; he said. The two-time Oscar winner revealed in 2010 that he was battling with stage-four cancer, but beat the disease thanks to a gruelling regime of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. &quot;I have to check in regularly -- now it&#39;s every six months -- but I&#39;m more than two years clear,&quot; he told the Guardian. &quot;And with this kind of cancer, 95 percent of the time it doesn&#39;t come back.&quot; u00a0
