If genitals warts gets worse pretty quick is that a bad sign of cancer...?

Maybe (not) . . .: While genital warts & most cervical cancer are caused by human paplilloma virus, they're caused by different types. Therefore, genital warts indicate that hpv is present, but doesn't tells us anything about presence/absence of types 16 & 18. Of course, 2 vaccinations are available to protect against types 16 & 18.
