Cancer is exactly why we vaccinate against HPV, as it's a huge cause of cervical cancer.

HPV also causes vulva, vagina, penis, anus, and oropharynx cancers as well.

https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/hpv/basic_info/cancers.htm

>In general, HPV is thought to be responsible for more than 90% of anal and cervical cancers, about 70% of vaginal and vulvar cancers, and 60% of penile cancers. Cancers in the back of the throat (oropharynx) traditionally have been caused by tobacco and alcohol, but recent studies1 2 3 show that about 60% to 70% of cancers of the oropharynx may be linked to HPV. Many of these may be caused by a combination of tobacco, alcohol, and HPV.
