They claim cervical cancer is viral, HPV, how do we know all cancer types are not or are viral as well?

When a test animal such as a rat is injected with cancer cells it gets cancer. Why would humans be any differerent. This would make cancer contagious such as cervical.

It doesn't actually make it contageous, because the rat has been injected with the cells, directly: they now exist in its body, just as if the body had developed them. Being injected with cancer doesn't happen for most people, and if it were an STD or airborne we'd all be dead by now.

HPV MAY cause cervical cancer, but won't always. It's just very likely to. But cervical canceris not contagious, only HPV is. Remember that the papilloma virus is not cancer. Cervical cancer is not viral, it can be eventually CAUSED and has been linked with that virus.

That said, we actually know very little about what causes cancer and there are some people who have theorized viruses. Nobody's been able to prove anything or isolate a virus.

First, only some types of HPV virus are associated with a greatly increased risk of cervical cancer. But only some types, and there are other causes of cervical cancer as well.

In addition, some types of cancers are what are referred to as lifestyle cancers. These include, but may not be limited to, some types of lung, oral and intestinal cancers. Again, though, not all lung, oral or intestinal cancers are lifestyle cancers.

Cancer is not really one disease. It's a number of different diseases that act in a similar fashion. They have different triggers and there may or may not be a genetic predisposition to some types of cancers.

When scientists run various cancer experiments with rats, they are using a strain of lab rat that has bred to be very prone to a particular type of cancer.

Cancer is not itself contagious. HPV infections, though, are generally a sexually transmitted illness, and are contagious.
2 strains of Cervical cancer are caused by a virus called human pappalma virus. Cancer just means uncontrolled cell growth. the cells keepon growing and growing and growing etc. Laser surgery to cervix can help = but you will always have the viru one you get it. The virus replicated itself into all of the affected cells
