Quote:Cervical cancer is one of those more interesting cancers that originates as a virus (Human papillomavirus) which exhibits few or no symptoms, and which gets transmitted through unprotected sex.

Other than HPV, I know Hep B & C can cause liver cancer.

A rather important point, that. Different causes, different cancers.

"Cancer" is not an individual disease, like "Hepatitis B". It's an entire class of diseases, like "virus" or "parasite". A cure, vaccine, or treatment for any given type of cancer may have absolutely no bearing on any other type - which is why the various "for the cure" charities, while noble, are promising something which is highly unlikely to ever happen. If we "beat" cancer, it will be with a whole host of different treatments that work on different types of cancer.
