Algunos de los tipos de VPH de transmisi\u00f3n sexual pueden aumentar el riesgo de ciertos c\u00e1nceres, as\u00ed como de verrugas genitales.<\/p>\n<p>Las infecciones por VPH son bastante comunes y hasta el 90 por ciento de las personas padecen una en alg\u00fan momento de sus vidas. La gran mayor\u00eda de estas infecciones desaparecen por s\u00ed solas. Pero algunos no.<\/p>\n<p>Se cree que casi todos los casos de c\u00e1ncer de cuello uterino se deben a una infecci\u00f3n por VPH, principalmente de dos tipos espec\u00edficos (16 y 18). La infecci\u00f3n por VPH tambi\u00e9n aumenta el riesgo de c\u00e1nceres de vagina y de pene, as\u00ed como de c\u00e1nceres de ano y orofaringe. El c\u00e1ncer de orofaringe incluye c\u00e1ncer que puede afectar la lengua, la garganta, las am\u00edgdalas y el paladar blando, y su tasa est\u00e1 aumentando r\u00e1pidamente.<\/p>\n<p>La vacuna contra el VPH puede ayudar a proteger contra muchos de estos c\u00e1nceres (as\u00ed como contra las verrugas genitales) y se recomienda de forma rutinaria para ambos ni\u00f1os. <strong><em>y<\/em><\/strong> ni\u00f1as de 11 a 12 a\u00f1os, pero puede comenzar antes o despu\u00e9s y seguir siendo eficaz.
