Is it true that the HPV vaccine lowers the risk of ovarian cancer?
Unclear. The retrieved sources address the HPV vaccine's role in preventing cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers, not ovarian cancer. One review notes HPV may not be a primary cause of ovarian cancer, but no source directly measures whether HPV vaccination lowers ovarian cancer risk.
