Has HPV Actually Been Proved to Cause Cervical Cancer?
HPV infection is highly associated with cervical cancer, yet there remains debate as to whether the virus actually causes cancer. There are no published studies in the medical literature that demonstrate HPV actually causes cancer. The alternate explanation (raised by an FDA scientist) is that the theory that HPV causes cancer could be backwards. It could be that HPV is just a so-called opportunistic infection that is allowed to flourish un-checked in the vicinity of cancer cells.
