The burden of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cancers varies by racial and ethnic groups in the United States, with more frequency and sometimes more deadly consequences among Hispanics, blacks, and American Indian and Alaska Natives than among whites. Although vaccination is expected to decrease the cancer burden from HPV across all racial and ethnic groups, some disparities are expected to persist and widen if their causes are not addressed, including lack of access to screening, timely diagnoses and treatment.

Women who are sedentary appear more likely to develop cervical cancer, but just 30 minutes of exercise each week might significantly reduce that risk, new research suggests.
"We think that this study sends a powerful public health message: that a complete lack of exercise is associated with the greater likelihood of developing a serious disease," said senior study author Kirsten Moysich. She is a distinguished professor of oncology in the department of cancer prevention and control at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, N.Y.

There has been a decrease in the prevalence of high-risk types of human papillomavirus in the United States since the HPV vaccination was introduced, but cross protection and herd immunity remain low, according to a new study.
This lack of strong herd immunity and cross protection is most likely related to the low vaccination rate, said Christopher Tarney, M.D., from the Womack Army Medical Center in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

The Cyto-Tek® 2500 offers excellent
preservation of cellular structure and consistently delivers a high rate of
cellular recovery. With its patented paced acceleration feature, the instrument
automatically increases and decreases the rotational velocity based on the selected
speed, which protects fragile cells and results in higher cellular yield.

Risk for human papillomavirus and nonmarital pregnancy increased among adolescents who took "virginity pledges" as part of abstinence-only sexual education, according to recent research in the Journal of Marriage and Family. "The present research maintains that previous studies may have obscured important differences in exposure risk and hypothesizes that female pledge-breakers who have higher exposure risk are more likely to experience human papillomavirus (HPV) and nonmarital pregnancies," Anthony Paik, Ph.D., of the department of sociology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and colleagues wrote.

From today, women in Scotland with an advanced and incurable form of cervical cancer could benefit from the targeted treatment Avastin, which has been given the green light by the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) for routine use on the NHS. Avastin has been recommended for restricted use in combination with cisplatin and paclitaxel in adult patients with persistent, recurrent, or metastatic carcinoma of the cervix.

A recent Canadian analysis published in CMAJ reported that male vaccination programs are necessary in order to ensure equality in protection from HPV-associated diseases for men. The Canadian National Advisory Committee on Immunization recommends the HPV vaccine for girls and boys aged 9 to 26 years.

Researchers are shedding new light on why cancer is often a different disease for men than it is for women.
A new study suggests that for many cancers, important differences in the genetics of tumors in men as compared with women may affect the development and aggressiveness of the disease or how it responds to treatment. Researchers said the findings could eventually affect drug development and lead to strategies for preventing and treating cancer that take a patient’s sex into account.

"Precision" cancer treatment that's guided by genetic clues from the patient's own tumor appears to outperform traditional chemotherapy, a new research review finds.
Patients given precision — or personalized — treatment experienced a tumor shrinkage rate six times that attained by regular chemotherapy. But, that only happened if doctors used genetic information to choose the appropriate targeted therapy, said lead researcher Maria Schwaederle.
