Tonsillectomy as a Cancer Preventive Strategy
The rate of vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) among adolescent girls and boys over the past few years has been stagnant in spite of the increase in incidence of HPV-positive oropharyngeal (OPX) squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The indirect relationship between HPV cancer incidence and preventive vaccination poses a public health concern and has caused clinicians to search for other methods toward eradicating the ongoing oropharyngeal carcinoma epidemic. This alarming increase in OPX is motivating a search for therapeutic prevention strategies, including biomarker discovery, risk assessment, therapeutic vaccines,...

Counseling about the HPV Vaccine: Desexualize, Educate, and Advocate
Abstract: Information is provided for clinicians who treat adolescents and adult women to use when counseling patients about human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. A literature search was done to determine: (1) reasons for refusal of the vaccine, including cost and concerns that immunization against HPV will lead to promiscuity; (2) potential for non-sexual transmission of HPV; (3) non-genital locations of HPV; (4) non-genital cancers associated with HPV.Vaccines for Children Program and the Affordable Care Act eliminate many costs. Neither biological nor behavioral evidence supports the idea that sexual behavior changes afte...

HPV Vaccine Public Awareness Campaigns: An Environmental Scan
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates are significantly lower than recommended targets. Public awareness campaigns can raise awareness of the severity and prevalence of HPV infection and the cancer prevention benefits of the vaccine. We conducted an environmental scan of HPV vaccine public awareness campaigns during the summer of 2014. We used online search strategies and expert input to identify candidate campaigns. Multiple study investigators reviewed all data abstraction and analysis. After applying our inclusion criteria, we identified 14 campaigns with parents or teenagers as the target audience. We characteri...

Knowledge and acceptance of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and HPV vaccination in adolescent boys worldwide: a systematic review.
Conclusions Comparison and synthesis of research concerning HPV knowledge and attitudes was made difficult due to the lack of universal definition of vaccine acceptance, and no universally accepted tool for its measurement or for the measurement of HPV knowledge. It is imperative that future research utilises consistent measures of HPV knowledge and attitudes to facilitate interpretation and comparison across studies internationally. Prospective longitudinal studies would be more informative providing data on factors that influenced the move from vaccine intention to uptake.

Applying Multiple Data Collection Tools to Quantify Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Communication on Twitter
Conclusions: Examining social media to detect health trends, as well as to communicate important health information, is a growing area of research in public health. Understanding the content and implications of conversations that form around HPV vaccination on social media can aid health organizations and health-focused Twitter users in creating a meaningful exchange of ideas and in having a significant impact on vaccine uptake. This area of research is inherently interdisciplinary, and this study supports this movement by applying public health, health communication, and data science approaches to extend methodologies across fields.

Global human papilloma virus vaccine implementation: An update
The objective of this narrative review is to provide an update on the current status of HPV vaccination worldwide. This will be helpful for clinicians in counseling parents and guardians as this vaccine mainly targets sexually naïve preadolescents. An electronic search of the databases was carried out to retrieve information concerning HPV vaccine implementation between July 2006 and 2017, with special emphasis on the current viewpoints, controversies and ethical issues. Globally, 74 countries have implemented the HPV vaccine in the national immunization schedule, and this vaccine is listed as an essential medicine by WHO...

If we don ’t pay now to vaccinate our children, they will pay later
The HPV vaccine saves lives.  It does so by reducing a person’s chance of being infected by the human papilloma virus, a virus that causes a whole range of cancers including, most importantly, cervical cancer.  Vaccinate your teenage daughter against HPV, and you will increase the chance she will live to old age. Simple as that. […]Find jobs at  Careers by KevinMD.com.  Search thousands of physician, PA, NP, and CRNA jobs now.  Learn more.

The Role of Vaccination Interventions to Promote HPV Vaccine Uptake Rates in a College-Aged Population: a Systematic Review
AbstractThis systematic review provided synthesized evidence regarding the effectiveness of the interventions promoting the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in college-aged population. The HPV infection is the most prevailing sexually transmitted disease. Despite the availability and effectiveness of the 9-Valent HPV vaccine, the vaccine coverage among young adults remained low. In witness to the increasing burden of HPV-related infections and cancers, research focused on the vaccination interventions should be conducted to determine the effectiveness of the vaccination strategy and address the gap. The search was co...

Communication strategies to improve human papillomavirus (HPV) immunisation uptake among adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusion HPV vaccine communication is critical in ensuring that the community understands the importance of vaccination. The most effective communication strategies included those which educate the population about the HPV vaccine, facilitate decision-making on vaccine uptake and community ownership of the vaccination process immunisation.

Acceptability, access, and uptake of human papillomavirus vaccination in mental health populations: a scoping review
ConclusionThere is limited research available on the relationship between mental health and HPV vaccination acceptability, access, or uptake. Efforts should be made to extend both quantitative and qualitative literature in this area, including using theoretical frameworks to improve the transferability of research into practice.

Non-invasive saliva-based screening of high-risk Human Papilloma Virus 16 and 18 in healthy young adults and creating awareness about its vaccination
CONCLUSION: Even all the saliva samples tested were found negative for HPV DNA, the screening of high-risk HPV in saliva of young medical and nursing students generated curiosity among them to know more about HPV and its vaccine. This exercise may have helped in increasing the acceptance of HPV vaccine and the awareness of getting it at their ideal age to be benefited with dual protection, from oral and cervical (in case of females) cancers lifelong.PMID:34017758 | PMC:PMC8132784 | DOI:10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_1669_20

The relationship of human papillomavirus positivity with tumor characteristics in an Irish penile cancer population
CONCLUSIONS: Our data is representative of the Irish landscape in penile cancer over the last five years. Using p16INK4a staining, we demonstrate a high rate of HPV prevalence in penile cancer cases in our patient cohort, which is associated with prognostically worse tumor subtypes. This would suggest that HPV vaccination of adolescent boys is a useful public health intervention in preventing penile cancer in the Irish male population.PMID:36656691 | PMC:PMC9851216 | DOI:10.5489/cuaj.7821
