Human papillomavirus-associated cancer incidence by disaggregated Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and other Pacific Islander ethnicity.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Asian Americans and Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders have suboptimal human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and cancer screening rates. Asian Americans and NHPIs are often aggregated, masking disparities characterized by varying colonization and immigration patterns and cultural and religious beliefs between populations and ethnicities. We examined the incidence of HPV-associated cancers across disaggregated Asian American and NHPI ethnicities.

Methods

Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Detailed Asian/Pacific Islander database, we calculated 1990 to 2014 sex-specific, age-standardized HPV-associated cancer incidence of cervical carcinoma, oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), vulvar SCC, vaginal SCC, anal SCC, and penile SCC b
