Hepatitis viruses can develop into a chronic viral infection that leads to liver cancer. [143] [144] Infection by human T-lymphotropic virus can lead to tropical spastic paraparesis and adult T-cell leukaemia. [145] Human papillomaviruses are an established cause of cancers of cervix, skin, anus, and penis. [146]
