Yes, condoms can play a significant role in reducing the risk of certain types of cancers. By providing a barrier during sexual activity, condoms help prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as [human papillomavirus (HPV)](). HPV is a well-known cause of cervical cancer, as well as cancers of the anus, penis, throat, and mouth. Regular use of condoms significantly lowers the risk of contracting HPV, thereby reducing the risk of HPV-related cancers.
