• Description:
  Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes most cervical cancers and causes some cancers of the penis, vulva, vagina, oropharynx (back of the throat, including the base of the tongue and tonsils), and anus. Most HPV infections clear spontaneously and remain asymptomatic. However, persistent infections can progress to cancer. HPV vaccines protect against the types of HPV that can lead to cervical, vaginal, vulvar, and anal precancers and cancers.
  
  Cancer incidence data from the central cancer registries have been linked with the Indian Health Service (IHS) patient registration database for improved accuracy of racial classification. In previous studies, these data have shown higher rates of certain cancers for the American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) population, with substantial variation by geographic region. HPV status is not routinely collected in cancer registries. Therefore, in this report HPV-associated cancers are defined as those that occur in parts of the body where HPV is often found.
