Abstract Background Squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (SCCA) incidence is rising in United States. Study trends by stage at diagnosis, age-specific and birth cohort patterns, mortality could provide evidence for a true increase etiological clues incidence. Methods Using US Cancer Statistics dataset, we examined SCCA (2001–2015) (2001–2016) rates. Join-point regression was used to compute annual average percentage change (AAPC). Incidence patterns 5-year age group were evaluated using rate...
Cervical cancer screening rates are suboptimal in the US. Population-based assessment of reasons for not receiving is needed, particularly among women from historically underserved demographic groups.To estimate changes US Preventive Service Task Force guideline-concordant cervical over time and assess do receive up-to-date by sociodemographic factors.This pooled population-based cross-sectional study used data National Health Interview Survey 2005 2019. A total 20 557 (weighted, 113.1...
Background: The burden of human papillomavirus (HPV)–positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is disproportionately high among men, yet empirical evidence regarding the difference in prevalence oral HPV infection between men and women limited. Concordance genital unknown. Objective: To determine infection, as well concordance U.S. women. Design: Nationally representative survey. Setting: Civilian noninstitutionalized population. Participants: Adults aged 18 to 69 years from...
Importance Area-level factors have been identified as important social determinants of health (SDoH) that impact many health-related outcomes. Less is known about how the vulnerability index (SVI), a scalable composite score, can multidimensionally explain population-based cancer screening program uptake at county level. Objective To examine geographic variation US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF)–recommended breast, cervical, and colorectal rates association between county-level SVI...
IMPORTANCEIn the last 4 decades, survival among patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)associated cancers has improved, while incidence of these increased younger cohorts.Among survivors HPV-associated cancers, persistent HPV infection may remain a risk factor for preventable second primary (HPV-SPCs).OBJECTIVES To investigate HPV-SPCs index and to test hypothesis that HPV-SPC persons over decades. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTSA retrospective cohort study 9 cancer registries...
Human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated anal and oropharyngeal cancer incidence has increased in recent years among US women. However, trends burden (annual number of cases) noncervical HPV-associated cancers relative to cervical remain unclear. Using the 2001-2017 statistics dataset, we evaluated contemporary women by anatomic site, race or ethnicity, age. Overall, plateaued White but continued decline Black Hispanic Anal surpassed aged 65-74 age (8.6 8.2 per 100 000 2015) 75 older (6.2 6.0...
This cross-sectional survey study assesses knowledge of human papillomavirus by age and sex.
ABSTRACT Backgrounds Cancer fatalism, the belief that cancer is predetermined and unpreventable, associated with lower uptake of prevention. Little known about fatalism prevalence within various Asian origin groups. Methods We conducted a disaggregated analysis among Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Vietnamese, other respondents using 2012–2022 Health Information National Trends Survey. Pairwise comparisons were to assess differences between each racial ethnic group. Results Significantly...
Human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cancer burden is rising in the United States. Trends incidence by county-level income and smoking prevalence remain undescribed. We used Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results 21 database to ascertain HPV-associated cancers during 2000-2018. were estimated quartiles. Anal vulvar among women anal men increased markedly lowest-income counties, whereas increases slower highest-income counties (eg, for cancer, 1.9% per year, 95% confidence interval [CI] =...
Studies suggest the risk of suicide among people with cancer diagnosis is higher compared general population. However, little known about how diagnosed might vary according to area-level income and rurality.To examine whether risks patterns mortality a differ by US county-level median rural or urban status.A retrospective, population-based cohort study following up individuals who were between January 1, 2000, December 31, 2016, was conducted. The Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results...
A discussion about patient's nonmedical needs during treatment is considered a crucial component of high-quality patient-provider communication. We examined whether having cancer patients' emotional and social associated with their psychological well-being.Using the 2016-2017 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey-Experiences Cancer Survivorship Supplement (MEPS-ECSS) data, we identified survivors in United States (US) who reported detailed care. used multivariable logistic regression to assess...

Palliative care can improve the quality of life adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer. However, little is known about utilization palliative among AYA cancer patients. Identifying factors associated could inform efforts to access patients living cancer.Using data from National Inpatient Sample 2016-2019, a representative sample US hospitalizations, we examined encounters characteristics hospitalizations high inpatient mortality risk. Survey design-adjusted bivariate multivariable...
