Cervical cancer is not genetic. The vast majority of Cervical cancer cases are caused by an HPV viral infection.
HPV is a sexually transmitted virus that is extrememly common for both men and women. It is important to know that a positive HPV test or an abnormal Pap test does not mean that the patient will develop cervical cancer.
