There are at least seven viruses that are known to contribute to the development of cancer in humans.

Each virus can cause cancer through a unique route.

HPV is one of the best-known viruses responsible for more than 37,000 new cancer cases in the U.S. each year .

There are vaccines against HPV and HBV , both of which are highly effective.

Using condoms and never sharing needles can help reduce the risk of contracting the infections.

These viruses can also spread to fetuses and newborns during pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding, so pregnant people are advised to get tested.
