Yes, I believe that is quite likely. Why do many people with HPV not develop SCC? Smoking and alcohol consumption are definite risk factors for oral SCC. In my opinion, cancer results from a variety of exposures and a genetic predisposition of the immune system to miss catching and destroying cancer cell precursors. Just my opinion, fwiw.

Most people clear the virus from their body which is why it does not turn into cancer. For some people around 10% the virus lies dormant and then it turns into cancer.
