Overview
Common causes of urethral cancer include human papillomavirus, history of bladder cancer, recurring urinary tract infections, smoking, and exposure to chemicals.
Causes
Urethral cancers appear to be associated with infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), particularly HPV16, a strain of HPV known to be causative for cervical cancer. Other significant causes of urethral cancer are: [1][2]
- Recurring urinary tract infections
- Chemical exposure
