When viruses cause an infection, they spread their DNA, affecting healthy cells’ genetic makeup and potentially causing them to turn into cancer. HPV infections, for instance, cause the virus’ DNA to combine with the host’s DNA, disrupting the normal function of cells. Other viruses, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV), may increase a person’s risk of developing cancer by affecting the body’s immune system. In most cases, specific viruses only affect specific cells in the body, such as common cold viruses that impact the lining of the nose and throat. That’s why certain viruses are only linked with certain kinds of cancer.
