Opite, before correcting people it is always well worth checking your facts. It saves embarassement and it prevents you misinforming people.

In this case had you simply typed "carcinogenic virus" into a search engine you owuld have found that cancer can be and commonly is caused by viruses.

It is particularly worrying that a young woman is ignorant of this fact. One of the more common cancers of young women is cervical cancer. It is caused almost exclusively by the human papilloma virus, which is passed on through sexual intercourse.

You really should be aware of this fact for the sake of your own health. Please follow the link provided below for more information.

The definition of cancer is an uncontrolled growth of body cells. The continuity of the growing cells can give a result as a mass of cells, called tumor. Tumor is divided into 2 types: benign $ malignant. Malignant type is cancerous, the dangerous one. Malignant tumors have the ability to invade neighboring tissues and organs, thus spreading the disease. It is also possible for cancerous cells to break free from the tumor and enter the blood stream, and spreading the disease to other organs. This process of spreading is called metastasis.
