A member asked:
What are the other causes of cervical cancer besides hpv?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It took us decades of research to link cervical cancer to some strains of HPV. Pap smears were done for early detection several decades before the HPV link was known. We do know that some cases have no evidence of any prior HPV infection but the origin remains elusive.

Smoking is a risk factor for cervical cancer. It is likely that female hormones contribute to cervical cancer.
