Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes an increasing proportion of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCCs), particularly in white men. The prevalence HPV among other demographic groups and anatomic sites HNSCC is unclear.To explore the role tumor status women nonwhites with OPSCC patients nonoropharyngeal head neck carcinoma (non-OP HNSCC).Retrospective cohort study at 2 tertiary academic centers including cases diagnosed 1995 through 2012, oversampled for minorities females. A stratified...
Abstract Oral human papillomavirus genotype 16 (HPV16) infection causes oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and the prevalence of SCC is higher among men than women in United States. In a cohort study oral HPV 409 individuals aged 18–25 years, risk but not significantly increased as number recent (ie, within prior 3 months) sex partners (Pinteraction = .05). contrast, decreased lifetime vaginal .037). Men were also less likely to clear infection. Our data contribute understanding...
Oral HPV infection, the cause of most oropharyngeal cancer in U.S., is not well studied among high-risk young adults. Men (n = 340) and women 270) aged 18–25 years attending Baltimore County STD clinics were recruited if they declined vaccination. Each participant had a 30-second oral rinse gargle sample tested for 37 types DNA, risk-factor survey. Factors associated with prevalent infection explored using log binomial regression. higher prevalence any (15.3% vs. 7.8%, p 0.004) vaccine-type...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening can reduce morbidity and mortality; however, important disparities exist in CRC uptake. Our study examines the associations of distance to care frequency using primary screening.To examine distribution geographically according several demographic features, we used individual patient-level data, dated September 30, 2018, from a large urban safety-net health system Central Texas. We spatial cluster analysis logistic regression adjusted for age, race, sex,...

Delivery of high-quality colonoscopy and adherence to evidence-based surveillance guidelines is essential a screening program, especially in safety net systems with limited resources. We sought assess quality ensure appropriate network practices. identified age-eligible patients ages 50-75 within Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) clinic system evidence preceding 10 years. performed chart reviews key aspects quality: bowel preparation quality, cecal intubation, withdrawal time, the...

We were interested establishing ongoing surveillance effort to identify the of GC and associated factors at-risk U.S. DoD benefiaries. <h3>Methods</h3> military treatment facilities (MTFs) where sexually tranmitted infections are diagnosed that had both high rates a local champion. Upon assessment, culture testing capacity was...
