HPV and Ovarian cancer risks?

[CallmeMum]

Hello Lovely Ladies, I hope you're all well?

Just a quick question not related to my special person.

I was wondering on everyone's thoughts about the HPV injection (Cervical Cancer) and if anyone knows about the risks related to ovarian cancer especially with a strong family history and faulty gene but not BRACA 1&2? Xxx

would advise you either call the nurse-led Ovacome helpline or alternatively try the Ask Eve, Healthunlocked site (its for all gyny cancers and a specialist nurse will comment).

Best wishes Sx

I think Sunfleury has given good advice, personally I havent heard of a connection but best to ask the experts,

Dear CallmeMum

Currently there is no identified increased risk of ovarian cancer from HPV. The main cancers associated with HPV are cervical, vulval, vaginal, some head and neck cancers, penis cancer and anal cancer (but HPV is very common and most people with HPV will not develop these cancers).

Macmillan Cancer Support have information on their website about HPV and the vaccine at the following links:

I hope this is helpful.
