New cases and deaths from anal cancer rose dramatically in the United States in recent years, according to a new study. With an increase of nearly 3% per year, anal cancer is one of the most rapidly rising causes of cancer incidence and mortality. But more widespread screening and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination could reverse this trend.
“It is concerning that over 75% of U.S. adults do not know that HPV causes this preventable cancer,” lead author Ashish Deshmukh, PhD, MPH, of the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, said in a press release. “Educational campaigns are needed to increase awareness about the rising rates of anal cancer and importance of immunization.”

Vaccination against high risk HPV strains—controversial with some here—can remove much of their risk, although can't protect against the many other risks of that behavior. A little discussed, but important detail regarding HPV vaccination is that it only protects if you receive the vaccine before you are first exposed to the high risk HPV. Vaccination after getting HPV won't cure it. If you choose to engage in the behavior in spite of its risks; it would be prudent to get vaccinated beforehand. With studies showing, IIRC, 40% of college age women already having been exposed to HPV, one could certainly argue that some behaviors need improvement. But one could also argue that as well as we can try to educate our own children on proper behavior, our ability to control their behavior, to chose their future partner(s), and to control those partner's behaviors prior to linking with our kids, is limited. So as parents it may make sense to take extra steps to reduce our kid's risk of horrific complications, in parallel with doing as much as we can to inculcate good behavior. And if we choose to do that, the timing issue implies we'll get the greatest benefit from vaccination by doing it before the kids are old enough to think about having sex, straight, gay or whatever.
Marcia Cross the redhead from desperate housewives also. You don’t want to know from whom she may have got it.
There are over 100 hpv strains....at least 14 of ‘em associated with cancer. The vaccines only cover the most prevalent strains...but if everyone keeps effing everyone else...vaccinated or not, all them strains gonna be ubiquitous.
That may be the craziest thing I have read this month.
Truly, sincerely, crazy.
Now that I have this information...
in my head... about your,
“prolonged repetitive blunt trauma to the rectal canal”,
I can, in No WAY,
come to “un-know” this most unpleasant information.
I don’t know whether to thank you,
or send you a six-pack of Tab - the Uncola!
Cheers to you sir!
Never a smarter soul of repartee have I seen!
To you I extend my hand of one-upmanship.
If you ever have need of an idiot,
Sir, call upon me!
HPV is extremely easy to spread, probably most of humanity has had it. Only certain strains that can lead the cancer.
And Schiff, Swallowswell,and Corey Booker are scarred stiff. Oh, did I say that? Yeah!
Episcopalians.
Who else? Assh*les!
(Don't the liberals themselves say 1 in 5 women will be raped during college? That's as bad as a war-torn third world country, or in the vicinity of the US Congress...) /rim shot>
Has anyone told Fudgepackin Pete and his wife about this?
Fudgepackin Pete must practice safe sex, I for one don’t want to be paying for cancer treatments for a couple of assholes.
Fudgepackin Pete and his wife need to practice safe sex so the American people don’t have to pay for cancer treatment for a couple of assholes.
When you were a kid your mother told you not to put those things in your mouth they are dirty.
It’s a one-way street...
My contrarian answer was ... "Women and children"
A good go-to group.
