Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a prevalent sexually transmitted infection globally, linked to genital warts and various cancers. The burden of HPV-related diseases in males is rising significantly. We reviewed studies published until September 2024 from databases like PubMed, Embase®, and Web of Science, summarizing HPV vaccination acceptance among boys and parents in Asia and exploring influencing factors. Acceptance rates for HPV vaccination among boys ranged from 48.4% to 69.9%, while parental acceptance varied from 10.0% to 91.0%. Recent years have shown a positive trend in acceptance, influenced by perceived risk and benefits, barriers, sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge and awareness of HPV and its vaccine, and social support factors. Targeted educational interventions are crucial for increasing awareness of male-associated HPV diseases and for dispelling misconceptions. The future implementation of gender-neutral vaccination policies may facilitate broader acceptance. Future studies should focus on developing interventions to promote pan-gender HPV vaccination.

Objective: In Japan, the current coverage rate of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is only 30%, and the rate of biennial cervical screening is 40%. The Japanese Government has attempted to increase the coverage of HPV vaccination and cervical screening. We analyzed the cost-effectiveness of the 9-valent HPV vaccine and cervical screening in Japan.

Background: All for Them is a theory-based and evidence-informed multilevel, multicomponent program delivered through schools to increase HPV vaccination among medically underserved youth across Texas. Given the potential logistical challenges of program implementation, understanding how to best support the implementation and sustainment of the program is critical. The overall goals of this study are twofold: 1) develop a multifaceted implementation strategy, Implementing All for Them (IM-AFT); and 2) evaluate the impact of IM-AFT on implementation outcomes for schools and healthcare providers to successfully implement All for Them in their respective settings.

Cervical cancer remains a significant health challenge in developing countries are high due to low HPV vaccination rates, delayed diagnosis, and restricted healthcare access. Metal nanomaterials, such as copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs), have shown significant promise in cancer therapy due to their ability to induce apoptosis. 5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu) enhances the cytotoxic effect against cervical cancer, working synergistically with CuO NPs to maximize the therapeutic impact while potentially reducing the 5-Fu's systemic side effects.

: Cervical cancer is the fourth most commonly diagnosed malignant tumor in women and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths among this population. Since it is asymptomatic in its early stages, preventive screening plays a crucial role in rapid diagnosis. Such screenings are conducted in many countries worldwide, although their popularity varies.
