A large proportion of cancers found to be caused by preventable infections

The majority of cervical cancer is actually caused by a virus known as the human papilloma virus or HPV. A statistic has recently been made public after research is showing that around 20 percent of all cancers are caused by infections that are entirely preventable.

It is estimated that infection causes around 2 million cases of cancer in a single year, with 80 percent of those cancers occurring in the developing world. In 2008 nearly 8,000,000 people died from cancer worldwide, with around 1.5 million of these having got the disease after contracting an infection. This research has been published in the Lancet Oncology journal.

There are public health practices such as safe injections, vaccinations and treatments which can seriously affect the prevalence of these types of cancer.”
