Can papiloma virus cause cancer ?

Question

I have genital herpes virus and papiloma virus, I have red info about papiloma and it seams to be very dangerous and I am very scared, what can I do? Can it cause cancer?

Is anybody with this virus? To share the experience with me? PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

That is quite risky if left untreated and it can potentially cause cervical cancer. There is a HPV vaccination available, administered in three doses over a course of months. Go to a doctor pronto.

Answer 2

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is a virus which can cause Warts and thereafter different types of cancer. Most CERVIX Cancer is caused by this virus.

Human papilloma viruses (HPV) are a large group of related viruses, some of which play a part in the development of cervical epithelial cancers. HPV is also associated with skin cancer, cancers of the mouth, and anal cancers.

More recently, it has been suggested that HPV may be associated with an increased risk of lung cancer. In addition, a group of researchers at a cancer research center in Seattle reported in 2004 that smoking appears to increase the risk of anal cancer in women as well as men infected with HPV who practice anal s*x.

The family of human papilloma viruses includes a large number of genetically related viruses. Many of these cause warts, including the warts commonly found on the skin. Another group of HPV preferentially infect the mucosal surfaces of the genitals, including the p***s, v****a, v***a, and cervix. These are spread among adults by sexual contact. One group of HPV that infect the genitals causes soft warts, often designated condylomata acuminata. These genital warts are quite common and rarely if ever become cancerous. The most common of these low-risk HPV types are designated HPV 6 and 11. The second group of viruses, termed high-risk HPV types, is associated with the development of cervical cancer. Individuals infected with these viruses are at higher risk for the development of precancerous lesions. Typically, infection with these viruses is common in adolescents and women in their twenties, and usually do not result in cancerous growth. The most common high-risk HPV is type 16. The appearance of abnormal cells containing high-risk HPV types is seen most frequently in women over the age of 30 who have abnormal Pap smears.

It is possible that other viruses work together with human papilloma viruses to produce precancerous changes in tissue. Cases of tongue cancer have been reported in which HPV was found together with Epstein-Barr virus, or EBV.

HPV infections are very common. At some point in their lives, greater than 75% of people are infected with HPV, making HPV the most common sexually transmitted disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 20 million Americans are infected with HPV as of 2004, with 6.2 million new cases occurring each year.

In general, HPV infections do not cause any obvious symptoms, which increases the likelihood of sexual transmission. Genital warts will occur in 1 or 2 of every 100 people. Abnormal Pap smears with atypical cells due to HPV can occur in 2–5% of women. If untreated, these women are at increased risk to develop cervical cancer. Virtually all cases of cervical cancer involve high-risk HPV types. It is believed that most cervical cancers take about five years to progress from early cellular changes to an invasive, life-threatening cervical cancer. It is not fully understood why most infections with high-risk HPV are of short duration, while a small percentage persist and eventually transform cervical cells to a state of cancerous growth.-

Answer 3

The short answer is yes. Cervical cancer is heavily associated with HPV infection. If you are infected, the vaccine is useless.

Please don't worry so much. I know that sounds like doom and gloom, but millions of people around the world have HPV. It is very common, and while most cervical cancer is caused by HPV, most people with HPV will not get cancer. Cervical cancer itself typically occurs in later life, there is a test known as a PAP smear that your doctor or gynaecologist can do for you. Early stages of cancer can be detected and successfully treated thanks to these kind of tests. For reassurance you would probably feel better if you discussed this with your own doctor or with a gynaecologist who can give you precise info as to when you need to get tested, or if its even necessary for you at this time.

Answer 4

Never take that vaccine.  It is so dangerous, is really hurting people and it will probably come off the shelf soon because of the deaths and disease the vaccine has caused.  There is something like 60 different strains of HPV and only a few strains are pretty likely to cause cervical cancer.  Your gynocologist should be able to tell you if the strain you have is especially dangerous.
