Description:Purpose
To understand trends in the incidence and mortality of two human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cancers, cervical and oropharyngeal cancer, in Massachusetts.
Methods
From 2004–2014, the Massachusetts Cancer Registry recorded 3,996 incident cases of oropharyngeal cancer and 2,193 incident cases of cervical cancer. Mortality data were obtained from the Massachusetts Registry of Vital Records and Statistics from 2008–2014. Rates were age-standardized to the 2000 US population and trends were assessed using joinpoint regression.
Results
While the incidence rate of cervical cancer (5.46 per 100,000) decreased by 2.41% annually (p=0.004), the incidence rate of oropharyngeal cancer among males (7.85 per 100,000) increased by 2.82% annually (p=0.0002). Mortality rates for both cancers decreased from 2008–2014 but were not statistically significant (Cervical −3.73% annually, p=0.29; Oropharyngeal −1.94% annually, p=0.44).
Conclusion
The rising incidence rate of oropharyngeal cancer in men and the decreasing, but relatively high, incidence rate of cervical cancer in women highlight the need for further screening and prevention by HPV vaccination in Massachusetts.
