Objectives: To evaluate the association between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and the risk of differentiated and papillary thyroid cancer.
Methods: We included all individuals assigned female at birth and born during 1962-1996 in Denmark. Information on vital status, PCOS- and cancer diagnoses, and covariates were attained from various Danish nationwide registers.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed cancer trends related to human papillomavirus (HPV) in Denmark from 2000 to 2022, focusing on cervical precancer, genital warts, and overall disease burden post-HPV vaccination.
- Findings revealed a significant decline in age-standardized incidence rates (ASRs) for cervical precancer and genital warts, particularly among women, while HPV-associated cancers have been rising in men and non-cervical sites among women.
- The conclusion emphasized that, even with vaccination efforts leading to decreased cases of certain HPV-related conditions, HPV-associated diseases continue to pose a public health challenge, especially among men.
A pivotal study in women aged 16-26 years demonstrated that the nine-valent human papillomavirus (9vHPV) vaccine was efficacious against high-grade cervical dysplasia related to the HPV types covered by the vaccine. To evaluate whether effectiveness remains above 90% for up to 14 years post-vaccination, a long-term follow-up (LTFU) extension of the study was conducted in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden ( = 2,029). Interim findings at 12 years post-vaccination are reported.

Denmark started implementing HPV testing as a primary screening method in 2021, but no national data are yet available. We report the results of the first and second screening rounds in a large Danish pilot implementation study.

Design: Nationwide cohort study.
Patients And Measurements: Patients diagnosed with PTC during 2000-2015 in Denmark were identified from the Danish Cancer Registry and followed until the end of 2020.
