A member asked:

Do cancers caused by hpv such as anal, penile or oral, always show up signs (such as lesions) at the beginning of the cancer? or are they able to make progress without giving any signs? thank you

HPV related cancer: Most such cancers are obvious early, well in time for easy cure. However, internal lesions may cause no symptoms. See a doctor if you remain concerned. I'm pretty sure you're the same person who has asked several anxiety-related questions about HPV. Really no need for worry -- severe outcomes like hard-to-treat cancer are rare. Get vaccinated for protection against most HPV related cancers.
