Key high-yield points
- HPV 6 & 11 cause ~90% of anogenital warts - these are low-risk (non-oncogenic) types
- HPV 16 & 18 are the high-risk oncogenic types responsible for cervical, anal, and oropharyngeal cancers - distinct from wart-causing types
A patient with genital warts does NOT have an elevated cancer risk from the causative virus itself (HPV 6/11 are non-oncogenic).
