Is it possible to get cervical cancer from anything other than hpv?

Yes: Hpv is a common cause of cervical cancer. However, you do not need to have been exposed to hpv to get cervical cancer.

Yes: Hpv causes most of the cervical cancer. But it only causes squamous cell cancer. Other types of cervical cancer (adenocarcinoma, etc) are rare but not caused by hpv.

Other risk factors: Cervical cancer is commoner in women who start having sex early, have multiple partners, and use tobacco. About 80% of the cervical cancers are associated with hpv, the exact cause of the remaining ones is not generally known.
