How Can Virus-Associated Cancers be Prevented?

Prevention strategies for virus-associated cancers include:
Vaccination: Vaccines are available for HPV and HBV, which can significantly reduce the risk of cervical cancer and liver cancer, respectively.
Screening and Early Detection: Regular screening for cervical cancer (Pap smears) and liver cancer in high-risk populations can lead to early detection and treatment.
Safe Practices: Safe sex practices and the use of clean needles can reduce the transmission of oncogenic viruses like HPV and HCV.
Antiviral Treatments: Effective antiviral treatments for HBV and HCV can reduce the viral load and lower the risk of cancer development.
