      Yes you can. if it’s not a cancer of the reproductive system you can have cancer elsewhere in the body. If you are sexually active you can get Human papillomavirus-Related Cancers

      Yes, a person who has never had sex can still be affected by cancer. Cancer can develop due to a variety of factors including genetics, environmental exposures (like radiation or pollutants), lifestyle choices (such as diet or smoking), and infections unrelated to sexual activity. While some cancers, like cervical cancer, are often linked to sexually transmitted infections such as HPV, many other types—including breast, lung, blood (leukemia), and brain cancers—can affect individuals regardless of their sexual history.
