What are the only ways you can get Butt cancer?

Question

Can you get it from yourself or does it have to be transmitted by somebody else?

Answer 1

I know you're trying to be funny by joking about butt cancer. But there really is such thing.

HPV (the same strains that cause cervical cancer) can in rare instances cause rectal and anal cancer. HPV is sexualkly transmitted, and yes, in these cases the cancer is seen in men who receive anal sex.

You can get colorectal cancer if you have a family history of colon cancer and if you don't eat enough fiber. Fiber intake is on the decline because folks -- especially adolescent boys, the type who like to clown around by talking about butt cancer -- have atrocious eating habits that consist of more junk and less fresh fruit and vegetables.

Statistically, YOU, NYC BOY! are in a currently high risk group for getting butt cancer as an adult, seeing as your lifestyle is likely to consist of sitting around in front of a computer eating junk and drinking Mountain Dew. If you had some sense, you'd log off Y!A right now, go exercise and become a heavy-duty salad-eater.

Answer 2

Cancer is non-transmitted except for HPV, which is a virus that untreated, can lead to cervical cancer.

If you mean colon cancer, or of the intestines, usually bad diet, genetics, poor detox or poor digestive habits (not enough fiber etc for prolonged times) can eventually promote the onset of cancer.

Answer 3

There is such thing as anal cancer.

Causes
-----------
A common cause of anal cancer is infection by the human papillomavirus, which can be spread by anal sex.

Immunosuppression, which is often associated with HIV infection, also raises the risk of anal cancer.
