Certain impressive epidemiological evidence appearing in the last few years leads to the conclusion that some males are more prone to have a spouse with squamous cancer of the cervix than others. Advances in knowledge in other fields, especially at the molecular biological level, enable speculation on reasons for this curious conclusion. These readily testable theories, together with an outline of the evidence on which they rest, form the substance of this hypothesis.
