When I said, "isn't really" I meant "is hardly." Penile cancer is incredibly rare, I don't think HPV would be an explanation for colorectal cancer rising in the entire population, which is mostly what I was referring to. It seems to be gay men in which HPV eventually becomes colorectal cancer. Not to mention we now have a vaccine. So there has to be something else.
- root_axis 4y agoPoint taken. I was reacting to your post as stated because it's often said that HPV is not a cancer risk for men. You're correct that it wouldn't explain a general rise in colorectal cancer across the board.
