HPV & Cancer



Animated Image of HPV Cancer Cells
Although most forms of HPV self-correct, there are certain high-risk forms that may lead to cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute (NIH), the most common high-risk cancer developing forms of HPV include, HPV 16 and HPV 18 (2015). High-risk HPV cancers account for roughly 5% of all cancers worldwide. In the United States alone, 3% of all cancers among women, and 2% of all cancers among men can be attributed to high-risk HPV (NIH, 2014). Although these statistics seem low, anyone with high-risk strains of HPV are still at risk for developing cancer later on in life. There are several different types of cancers associated with HPV, these include: cervical, anal, oropharyngeal, vaginal, vulvar, and penile cancers.

 Cancer Statistics
  • Cervical Cancer. Research shows that nearly all cases of cervical cancer are caused by HPV. HPV types 16 and 18 seem to be responsible for roughly 70% of all cases (NIH, 2015).
  • Anal Cancer. Statistics have shown that roughly 95% of all anal cancers are caused by HPV. HPV type 16 is responsible for most of these cancers (NIH, 2015).
  • Oropharyngeal Cancer. Research shows that about 70% of oral cancers are caused by HPV. More than half of oral cancers diagnosed in the United States are caused by HPV strain 16 (NIH, 2015).
  • Other Cancers. HPV has also been linked to several other cancers. HPV accounts for about 65% of vaginal cancers, 50% of vulvar cancers, and 35% of penile cancers. Research shows that each of these cancers can be linked to HPV type 16 (NIH, 2015).

Cancer Screening
The most common cancer associated with HPV is cervical cancer (NIH, 2014). Cervical Cancer screening is normally a part of most women’s routine health care and is used to detect abnormal cell growth, precancerous lesions, and cancer. Screening for cervical cancer includes two type of tests. These include a Pap smear and HPV testing. A pap smear is a female pelvic exam that is used to detect abnormal cells, infections and inflammation.  HPV testing is used to screen for the presence of high-risk HPV strains in cells.  The use of automated liquid-based pap testing has also begun to takeover in the United States. These liquid-based tests are able to screen for possible cancerous growth and HPV from the same sample (NIH, 2014).
Stages of Cervical Cancer
It is recommended that women have their first Pap smear test at the age of 21. Women between the ages of 21 and 29 should be screened for cervical cancer every three years. Whereas women between the ages of 30 and 65 should be screened every 5 years (NIH, 2014). It is also important to remember that not all HPV vaccines protect against all types of HPV, therefore it is important for all vaccinated women to still adhere to routine testing. Unfortunately little is known about the effects of HPV and cancer in men, and there are currently no screening guidelines or tests available.

If you have been diagnosed with any form of HPV related cancer, please speak to your physician about the best treatment options available for you.

    With the new herbal mix medicine I purchased from Dr James herbal mix medicine, was my only way to get rid of my Alzheimer's, the herbal mix medicine effectively reversed my condition and alleviate all symptoms. I was initially very hesitant to discuss my Alzheimer but I just hope it can still help someone. I feel this will be very important information for all Alzheimer patients, because the most violent element in society today is ignorance. Be it any condition, a healthy diet and natural herbs and roots medicine from Dr. James is the road to fast recovery. I had suffered Alzheimer for many years, I fought for proper medical recommendation, care and all form of humane treatment with little improvement I went through many sleepless nights and periods of intense grief, as do most families. I was recommended by a friend to use Dr. James herbal mix medicine for my Alzheimer with high hope and assurance. I never doubted my friend but to contact Dr. James. And purchased His herbal mix medicine which was effective and I finally feel my Alzheimer is gone with no more symptoms.

    I was infected with Genital Herpes Virus six months ago, ever since then i have been searching for cure everywhere because i was feeling so uncomfortable with it. I have been dating for almost 5 years until i contracted Genital Herpes from my ex-boyfriend. Since then i became very sad about the whole situation, always going online checking if i could get a cure to Genital Herpes, then i came across so many testimonies. Due to my seriousness and eagerness to be completely cured, i became a victim of fraud after contacting several so-called herbal doctors i was referred to. I lost a lot of money but i didn't stop searching for a cure. Then one faithful day, i came across a testimony of a lady saying that she got her Genital herpes cured by a Great Herbal Doctor she called Dr Ogudugu by contacting him through his email address. And she advised anyone with Genital Herpes or Simplex Herpes to contact the herbal doctor for Herbal Cure. I contemplated for about 4 hours whether or not to contact him. then something inside of me told me 'Nothing good comes easy'. I then contacted him through his email and told him my problem. He told me all the things I needed to do and also gave me instructions to follow, which i did properly. Just within weeks of drinking and applying the herbal medication he sent to me through dhl delivery service, i started seeing changes, i went to my medical doctor for check-up, i was so happy when the doctor told me i was no more having Genital Herpes Virus, it was all tears of Joy from that moment, People think herpes is really a minor skin irritation herpes has a long term effects on health and if i could ever meet a Genuinely Great Herbal Doctor. I'm so grateful to him. i am completely free from Genital Herpes Virus, i introduced a family friend who have Simplex Herpes virus to him, He called me and told me he was also cure completely. I promised to share my own testimony like that of the lady on the internet. Friends, if you are also struggling with Herpes disease you can as well Contact him via Email: greatogudugu@gmail.com

    BEST NATURAL TREATMENT FOR HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS (HPV) earning that you have HPV can be one of the most difficult experiences you go through in life. You may feel scared, sad or even angry – this is OK, and a completely natural part of coping with something that can be life changing.

    My name is Johnny Mary and i am from the United States.

    I remember spending so much money buying drugs from hospitals hoping that i will be cured from HPV VIRUS, but all to no avail. I contacted so many  doctors and they prescribe medicine for me which they indeed tried their best but was unable to provide for me a possible cure, luckily i saw a comment about a herbal doctor, (Dr.Ogberaese) online.

    I then contacted him (Dr.Ogberaese) through his email, After much chat and enquiry with the doctor, i decide to take a leap of faith because i have nothing to loose.
    To my greatest surprise, Dr.Ogberaese prepare a medicine and  send me a Herbal Medicine through FEDEX courier Service, and he gave me guidelines on how am to take it. I followed all procedures as instructed, and after 2 weeks of taking it i was cure from HPV VIRUS  his medicine is legit and it is real. I just want to encourage all individuals out there living with HERPES ,  ITCHY SHINGLES , Genital Herpes, HSV1&2, HIV/AIDS/ HPV, COPD, CANCER, Hepatitis b, Lupus, PCOS, Kidney failure, Lung cancer and alot more. That there is still a huge chance that you can get cure only with the help of dr Ogberaese. kindly contact him via email: drogberaese54@gmail.com or whatsapp: +2348073818653
