Role not clear: In hpv virus infections , evidence is clear causes cancer of cervix , even though this virus is found in patients with ovarian cancer , in all studies no conclusive evidence it causes ovarian cancer (yet ) besides eradicating the papillomas , she needs surveillance by regular exams , along with sonograms . Speak to her doctors.
