Could the HPV Vaccine Treat Other Cancers?

Doctors have raised hopes that the Human Papilloma Virus vaccine, introduced over the last couple of years to protect young women against cervical cancer (and genital warts, when the Gardasil version is used) could also protect against different types of cancer, including cancers in men. Recent research has linked the HPV virus, a very common STD associated with cervical cancer and genital warts, to a series of cancers in the head, neck and urinary-genital tract.
