Purpose: To evaluate the effects of a human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination intervention implemented on a large university campus in the United States.
Methods: The intervention consisted of student-directed campaign materials promoting HPV vaccination (e.g., posters, yard signs, social media posts) and provider recommendation for HPV vaccine to students attending university health services (UHS) from January through March of 2019.
Results: We observed a 75% increase in HPV vaccine doses administered at UHS in the spring semester of 2019 vs. 2018. In both semesters a higher percentage of doses was given to females than males. Further, the increase from 2018 to 2019 was larger for females than males. Age at vaccine receipt did not differ by year.
Conclusions: Partnering with college and university health centers to implement HPV vaccine interventions could be a promising strategy for increasing HPV vaccination coverage among young adult college students across the country.

Background: In the context of the World Health Organization's (WHO) 90-70-90 targets for accelerating cervical cancer elimination, we aimed to assess the impact of achieving these targets and altering intervention factors on cervical cancer elimination in China and their potential benefits from preventing other human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cancers.
Methods: We developed a sexual contact network-Markov model to simulate HPV transmission and the progression of HPV-related cancers (cervical, vaginal, vulvar, penile, anal, and oropharyngeal cancers). We projected the population impact of achieving 90-70-90 targets by 2030 on the overall HPV-related cancer burden in China during 2024-2100.

Penile cancer (PeCa) ranks as the 30th most prevalent cancer globally, predominantly affecting populations in developing countries. Phimosis and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection are recognized as the primary risk factors. Early-stage diagnosis typically warrants limited excision or non-invasive therapies.

Background: Cervical cancer is primarily caused by persistent human papilloma virus (HPV) infections, with significant disparities observed in its burden, especially affecting immigrant populations from high HPV prevalence regions. This study evaluates the incidence and severity of cervical cancer in immigrant women in the Marche region, Italy, from 2010 to 2019.
Methods: We employed a detailed analysis of population-based data from the Marche Cancer Registry using the age-standardised incidence rates (IRs) and Poisson regression models for in situ cervical cancer (ISCC) and infiltrating cervical cancer (ICC).
