Risk of Anal Cancer in Women With a Human Papillomavirus–Related Gynecological Neoplasm: Puerto Rico 1987–2013
Objective The aim of the study was to estimate the magnitude of the association between HPV-related gynecological neoplasms and secondary anal cancer among women in Puerto Rico (PR). Materials and Methods We identified 9,489 women who had been diagnosed with a primary cervical, vaginal, or vulvar tumor during 1987–2013. To describe the trends of invasive cervical, vulvar, vaginal, and anal cancer, the age-adjusted incidence rates were estimated using the direct method (2000 US as Standard Population). Standardized incidence ratios (observed/expected) were computed using the indirect method; expected cases were calcu...

Statistical Modeling for Quality Assurance of Human Papillomavirus DNA Batch Testing
Conclusions Our results suggest that screening programs in regions with an oncogenic HPV prevalence of 12% to 16% can expect 5 to 22 positive results per microplate in approximately 95% of assays and 0 to 5 positive results clusters with no cluster larger than 6 positive results. Results consistently outside of these ranges deviate from what is statistically expected and could be the result of well-to-well contamination. Our results provide guidance that laboratories can use to identify microplates suspicious for well-to-well contamination, enabling improved quality assurance.
