Human papillomavirus-positive oropharynx cancer incidence has increased rapidly in cohorts of US white men born during the 1930s to 1950s. It is unknown how trajectory epidemic may be changing United States.Using registry information, we investigated whether increases have continued into recent birth and forecasted future burden across age, sex, race/ethnicity subgroups. Log-linear Joinpoint regression age-period-cohort models were used evaluate trends 1992 2015 projections through...

Currently, 2 vaccines exist that prevent infection by the genotypes of human papillomavirus (HPV) responsible for approximately 70% cervical cancer cases worldwide. Although vaccination is expected to reduce prevalence these HPV types, there concern about effect this could have on distribution other oncogenic types. According basic ecological principles, if competition exists between ≥2 different types niche occupation during natural infection, elimination 1 type may lead an increase in...

Cancer of the oropharynx has attracted considerable attention in recent years given: (1) an increasing incidence selected populations over past three decades; (2) discovery human papillomavirus (HPV) infection as driver increase, opposed to traditional risk factors such tobacco (smoking and chewing) alcohol; (3) promise new prevention treatment strategies. As a result developments, International Agency for Research on (IARC) US National Institute (NCI), convened fourth Seminar meeting...

Since the early 1950s, Papanicolaou (“Pap”) cytology screening has dramatically reduced cervical cancer mortality in most high-income settings. Currently, human papillomavirus (hpv) vaccination greatest potential to reduce global burden of and precancerous lesions. However, as prevalence lesions declines, maintaining primary test settings with established programs might become less efficient. A reduction performance (sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value) would lead an increase...

Current HPV vaccines do not protect against all oncogenic types. Following vaccination, type replacement may occur, especially if different types competitively interact during natural infection. Because of their common route transmission, it is difficult to assess interactions in observational studies. Our aim was evaluate the setting vaccine randomized controlled trials (RCTs).Data were pooled from Costa Rica Vaccine Trial (CVT; NCT00128661) and PATRICIA trial (NCT001226810)-two...

Herein, we report the final results.In this exploratory phase IIB randomised, placebo-controlled trial, recruited healthy women aged ≥18 years primarily from health service clinics at two Canadian Universities...

The AS04-adjuvanted HPV16/18 (AS04-HPV16/18) vaccine provides excellent protection against targeted human papillomavirus (HPV) types and a variable degree of cross-protection others, including 6/11/31/33/45. High efficacy any cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or greater (CIN3+; >90%) suggests that lower levels may exist for wide range oncogenic HPV types, which is difficult to quantify in individual trials. Pooling individual-level data from two randomized controlled trials, we...

Abstract It has been hypothesized that, following a reduction in human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine–targeted genotypes, an increase prevalence of other HPV types may occur due to reduced competition during natural infection. Any apparent postvaccination must be distinguished from diagnostic artifacts consequent consensus PCR assays failing detect present low copy numbers coinfected specimens (under the assumption that with drop vaccine-preventable there increased detection previously...

The incidence of oropharynx cancers has increased substantially in the United States. However, risk stratification tools for identification high-risk individuals do not exist. In this study, an individualized prediction model was developed and validated US population.A synthetic, population-based case-control study conducted. Oropharynx cancer cases diagnosed at Ohio State University (n = 241) were propensity-weighted to represent occurring annually States during 2009-2014 12,656). Controls...

Abstract In Denmark, vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) has been implemented in the children's program (January 2009) and multiple catch‐up cohorts (October 2008 girls 13‐15 years August 2012 women up to 27 years). present study we estimate incidence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN3), adenocarcinoma situ (AIS), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (AC) during 2000‐2019. All cases CIN3 AIS were identified from nationwide Pathology Data Bank, while SCC AC Danish Cancer...

Abstract Background International data on anogenital HPV infection incidence among men are limited. Methods Incidence of incident-persistent (IP) infections was evaluated 295 who have sex with (MSM) and 1576 heterosexual (HM) aged 16–27 years in the placebo arm a global, multicenter 4-valent (4v) vaccine trial. We estimated IP (penile/scrotal, perineal/perianal, anal) for 4vHPV 9-valent (9v) types cumulative over 36 months. Results per 100 person-years (95% CI) HM 9vHPV 4.1 (3.5–4.9) 6.8...
