There are just a handful of ways<\/a> to reduce your risk of cancer\u2014 one of the most important is to get the HPV vaccine to prevent HPV-associated cancers with the HPV vaccine (see Note 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too many people who discuss the HPV vaccine, especially among the anti-vaccine religion<\/a>, tend to focus on HPV-related cervical cancer. But HPV is linked to several dangerous and deadly cancers, and a new report examines the details of those cancers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to note that there are more than 150 strains or subtypes of HPV that can infect humans \u2013 however, only 40 of these strains are linked to one or more different cancers. Of those 40 strains, most are fairly rare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the early symptoms of HPV infections aren\u2019t serious and many HPV infections resolve themselves without long-term harm, HPV infections are causally linked to many types of cancers in men and women<\/a>. According to current medical research, here are some of the cancers that are linked to HPV:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
