Using population‐based cancer registry data to assess the burden of human papillomavirus‐associated cancers in the United States: Overview of methods

Increased attention to human papillomavirus (HPV)‐associated cancers in light of the recent release of an HPV vaccine, as well as increased availability of cancer registry data that now include reporting from a large proportion of the US population, prompted the current assessment of HPV‐associated...

Description
Summary:Increased attention to human papillomavirus (HPV)‐associated cancers in light of the recent release of an HPV vaccine, as well as increased availability of cancer registry data that now include reporting from a large proportion of the US population, prompted the current assessment of HPV‐associated cancers. This article describes methods used to assess the burden of HPV‐associated cervical, vulvar, vaginal, penile, anal, and oral cavity/oropharyngeal cancers in the United States during 1998 through 2003 using cancer registry data, and it provides a brief overview of the epidemiology of these cancers.
