The incidences of anogenital HPV-related cancers in women are on the rise; this is especially true for anal cancer. Medical societies are now beginning to recommend anal cancer screening in certain high-risk populations, including high-risk women with a history of genital dysplasia. The aim of this study is to investigate national anogenital HPV cancer trends as well as the role of demographics, deprivation, and ethnicity on anogenital cancer incidence in England, in an attempt to better understand this cohort of women which is increasingly affected by anogenital HPV-related disease.

This critical segment of the workforce experiences significant burnout and turnover rates resulting from extensive demands, including job stress and poor overall well-being. Factors associated with well-being in these settings and the resulting impacts on burnout and turnover are understudied.

Historically, anal SCC screening has focused on people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) (PLWH) who are considered to be at the highest risk of anal SCC, and its precancerous lesion, anal squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL). Despite this, women with vulval high-grade squamous epithelial lesions (HSIL) and SCCs have been shown to be as affected by anal HSIL and SCC as some PLWH.

HIV is a risk factor in the development of ASCC, and it is thought that the rapidly increasing incidence in men is related to increasing numbers of people living with HIV (PLWH). We undertook a population-based study comparing the demographics and incidence of ASCC in patients residing high HIV prevalence areas in England to patients living in average HIV prevalence areas in England.

Although there are consistent evidence-based guidelines for the management of ASCC, historically this has not been the case for AIN and as a result there have been geographical variations in the recommendations for the treatment of AIN. More recently there have been updates in the literature to the recommendations for the management of AIN.
