Certain infections are known to contribute to cancer development. Viruses such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Hepatitis B and C, and Epstein-Barr virus are linked to cancers of the cervix, liver, and lymphatic system, respectively. Bacterial infections like Helicobacter pylori are associated with stomach cancer. Vaccination and timely treatment of infections can prevent infection-related cancers, making them a critical focus of cancer prevention strategies.
