Virus-Related Cancer: Cancer disease is increasing rapidly. According to WHO, in the year 2023, there were more than 14 lakh cases of cancer in India. According to a research published in Lancet Regional Health Journal, in the year 2021, about 10 lakh deaths in the country were due to cancer alone. Till now it has been believed that cancer occurs due to bad lifestyle, diet, genetics and pollution, but very few people know that there are 14 types of cancer which can also be caused by viruses (Virus-Related Cancers). . Let us know about cancer caused by viruses…
1. Human Papillomavirus Virus
Cervical cancer is a common cancer in women. Most of its cases are reported in the last stage. This is a major cause of death in women. This cancer is caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV), which comes from the body of men to women during physical relations. HPV virus is also the cause of uterus, private parts, throat, and vulvar cancer. To avoid these five cancers caused by HPV virus, their timely identification is very important.

3. Hepatitis C and B Virus
Hepatitis C virus spreads from person to person through infected blood. It causes liver cancer. This virus is also responsible for non-Hodgkin lymphoma cancer.

This virus spreads to each other through infected sperm and blood. Adenovirus is also a dangerous virus, which can increase the risk of urinary bladder cancer. Similarly, there is a risk of brain tumor and bone cancer due to simian virus.
6. Merkel Cell Polyomavirus
Most people get infected with Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) in childhood. This virus has no symptoms, but in people with weak immunity, it can cause Merkel cell cancer.
7.HIV
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) spreads during sexual intercourse, but this virus never directly causes cancer. Researchers believe that this cancer first attacks those with weak immunity and then increases the risk of cancer. Cancers associated with HIV include Kaposi sarcoma, non-Hodgkin’s and Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
