Link between HPV and Prostate Cancer? Posted: 12-22-07 19:47pm


A good friend has been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer 25 years after his wife died of Cervical Cancer. It would seem to me that with HPV, that risk also goes onto the man who can develop Prostate Cancer. Any information or advise on that? Thanks.

Years ago, there were some studies that have suggested a relation between human papilloma virus (HPV) infections and prostate cancer. HPV types 16 and 18 were not associated with prostate cancer. There was a possible association between HPV 33 and prostate cancer. But, the results from most recent studies on this issue appear to rule out a link between prostate cancer and infection with the human papilloma virus (HPV), which causes cervical cancer.
