Having rheumatoid arthritis seemed to increase a woman's risk of developing cervical dysplasia, and being treated with a tumor necrosis factor inhibitor was associated with a modest increase in risk of developing cervical cancer, a nationwide Swedish study found.

Teenage girls living in poorer neighborhoods are more likely to be vaccinated against human papillomavirus, or HPV, than those who live in richer areas, researchers report. HPV is the cause of almost all cases of cervical cancer and some cases of other cancers. Researchers used a nationally representative sample of 20,565 girls ages 13 to 17 with verified vaccination records. They found that 63.6 percent of girls whose families earned less than $25,000 a year had been vaccinated compared with 52.3 percent of those whose families earned more than $75,000. The study is in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.

Some cancers are mysterious, in that doctors cannot determine where they originate and how they will spread. These cancers often are given the unwieldy name "unknown primary squamous cell carcinoma" (UPSCC).
About 4 percent of head and neck cancers are of the UPSCC variety.

More than 12,000 women were diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2012, the most recent year for which data are available, and more than 4,000 died from the disease, according to the CDC. Yet with highly accurate screening methods and a vaccine that prevents human papillomavirus — the underlying cause of nearly all cervical cancer and several other cancers — those numbers could be reduced to almost zero. Several obstacles stand in the way.

The detection of HPV-16 in the oral cavity appeared associated with a significantly increased risk for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, according to the results of a nested case-control study. The researchers further observed associations with other oral HPVs — including gamma11-HPV and gamma12-HPV species and beta1-HPV-5 type — and the risk for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

The use of fluorescence visualization-guided surgery appeared to reduce local recurrence rates among patients with preinvasive high-grade and early-stage oral cancers, according to retrospective study results. “Genetically altered cells are often widespread across the oral mucosa of patients with squamous cell carcinoma, which presents as low-grade disease or normal tissue clinically and histologically,” Catherine F. Poh, DDS, PhD.

A study of vaccine acceptance and behaviors among a group of parents of Georgia middle and high school students concludes evidence-based targeted interventions for parents are needed about recommended vaccines. In addition, physician training should emphasize the importance of a doctor's recommendation regarding vaccines for children with chronic illnesses.

New joint research has found that the distance to cancer services may be influencing the treatment intentions of regional Queensland women diagnosed with breast cancer. Specifically, a study by QUT, Cancer Council and BreastScreen Queensland found that where a woman lives impacts on the intention to use additional radiotherapy, chemotherapy and hormonal therapy as part of their breast cancer treatment.
