Accepted Answer

: Thyroid cancer is not caused by HPV. You do not say which types of HPV were found in your recent Pap smear if any. If HPV was detected or your Pap smear is abnormal, follow your doctor's advice -- but try not to worry. The vast majority of cervical HPV infections do not lead to cancer or other significant health problems.

what kind of cancer does hpv cause in men?

Accepted Answer

It can cause a few: HPV is most known for cervical cancer in women, but obviously this is not an issue.

The other cancer it causes that is becoming much more common is anal cancer. It can also cause penile cancer, but is less commonly seen in this setting.

Some only cause warts (skin and genital) but some can cause different types of cancer, i.e. carcinogenic HPV genotypes, such as cervical cancer, penile cancer, anal or nasopharygeal cancer, etc. Please remember that most HPV infections, including those with carcinogenic HPV genotypes, typically resolve within 12 months.

can hpv type 70 cause cervical cancer in the future?

Maybe not, but...: There are over 7 billion people on our planet, and many things are possible in life. HPV strain 70 is not in Gardasil-9 vaccine, so protection is only by being wise and lucky.
