What Types of Infections Are Linked to Cancer?

Several types of infections are linked to cancer. Among the most notable are:
- [Human Papillomavirus (HPV)](): Linked to cervical, anal, and oropharyngeal cancers.
- [Hepatitis B and C Viruses (HBV and HCV)](): Associated with liver cancer.
- [Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)](): Linked to nasopharyngeal cancer and some types of lymphoma.
- [Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)](): Associated with gastric cancer.
- [Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)](): While not directly causing cancer, HIV weakens the immune system, making it easier for cancers like Kaposi’s sarcoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma to develop.
