This study [1] makes a strong argument that the two are not correlated. Specifically, zero patients of a sample of 144 patients suffering from this strain of cancer also tested positive for HPV-16. Admittedly the cells were tested from cultures collected between 2005 and 2010 at the near start of this trend - it would be interesting to see if that holds true for more recent cultures and across more varieties of HPV strains.
