Cause of cancer is not definitively known. There are things which can sometimes lead to it, Anal cancer is not related to virginity in any way.

Anal cancers are caused certain types of HPV viruses, cigarette smoking, many sexual partners, and a weakened immune system. If you are a virgin and don't smoke than no problem. An HPV virus could cause a cancer since HPV is contracted by skin to skin contact. Being a virgin has no connection whatsoever.
