Q: Prostrate Cancer Risk From HPV Exposure
asked by: Roberta777 on February 3rd, 2008
Active User, very eHealthy
On going onto a website which had data from the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, there was information that HPV can present risk for men in penal and anal cancers.

I good friend, whose wife died 20 years ago from cervical cancer, now has been diagnosed with prostrate cancer of medium agressiveness. He is undergoing radiation therapy.

What are the high risk types that men are subject to? Confused

HPV types 16 and 18 are not associated with prostate cancer, but soame studies have shown that there is a possible association between HPV 33 and prostate cancer (significant excess risk for subjects with high antibody levels against HPV 33)

These Were Good Friends
Beautiful, tallented, she was runner up for Miss Oklahoma, he was a Naval pilot who became an airline pilot for TWA and travelled a lot.

HPV 33 and prostate cancer showing significant excess risk for subjects with high antibody levels against HPV 33, is that the same thing as being super sensitive to bee stings and you body will almost kill you in the process of trying to protect you when you are stung?

How do I learn more about this HPV 33?

Thanks MandMs

Been Trying To Learn More
about HPV 33 and the possible link to prostate cancer, so I searched: high antibody levels against HPV 33 and immediately came to a site: Prostate cancer, risk and serologic evidence of Human Papilloma Virus.

It is apparent that sexual activity and choice of partners does play a factor.

I'm glad you find some informations.
It's good to know that HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33, and 39 have a higher risk of progressing to cancer and that 70% of cervical cancer cases are linked with types 16 and 18.
Serology results provides informations about the cumulative exposure to the virus (people with high antibody levels for HPV have been longer and more often exposed to HPV virus)
