    NOT all ANAL Cancer is HPV caused. Cloacogenic for example. Since Cloacogenic cancer is not "preventable" (it is remants of cells from your birth) FOLKS should quit implying ALL anal cancer is the result of multiple partners & less usual sexual practices. FRANKLY straining in childbirth just might do it, ya think? Hypothesize a little bit. Do some real research...and report REAL results.  Secondly...Japan's anal cancer is different than the US. In fact, it is MORE likely HPV 18 caused than HPV 16 (in the more typical US anal cancer). INTERESTING. Gee why not investigate THAT too?

    I strongly support Gardisil shots..for boys and girls...because having the skin fall off your privates...is not fun. AND that boys and girls IS what happens with anal cancer no matter HOW it was acquired. Orals cancer which can be caused by HPV is not fun either.

    Anyway..implying if I had a Gardisil shot in my youth  (or totally abstained from sex) I would not have anal cancer is WRONG. So I hope your numbers allow for the scientific FACT...NOT all anal cancer is HPV caused.
