Maybe Bladder: Human papillomavirus 16 and 18 infection are associated with cervical cancer. Oropharyngeal cancer and anal cancer can also be caused by hpv. A recent meta-analysis (li, et al, j infect dis july 15; 204(2): 217-223) revealed that infection with hpv 16 may play a role in bladder carcinogenesis, but not conclusive. The role of hpv in prostate cancer is unclear.

Dr Paudel agreed
