Disparities in Human Papillomavirus–Associated Cancer Incidence by Appalachian Residence
This cross-sectional study of HPV-associated cancer incidence found disproportionately high HPV-associated cancer rates among Appalachian residents compared with non-Appalachian residents. These findings highlight the need for targeted efforts to improve HPV vaccine uptake and encourage adherence to evidence-based screening guidelines for HPV-associated cancers in Appalachia.
