Can hpv itself cause penile cancer? i generally keep my penile area clean(no smegma) and also tale immune boosters. whats my penile cancer risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Risk of penile cancer is less than one in 100,000 men. HPV is found in 50% of cases. Men who have a history of HPV DO have a higher risk of cancer than the population. Check out more stats here... http://www.cdc.gov/cancer/hpv/statistics/cases.htm
