TL;DR: Estimates of the global burden of HPV-related cancers, and the proportion that are actually "caused" by infection with HPV types, and therefore potentially preventable, are provided.

TL;DR: Cancer incidence and mortality estimates for 1995 are presented for the 38 countries in the four United Nations-defined areas of Europe, using World Health Organization mortality data and published estimates of incidence from national cancer registries to demonstrate the very substantial burden of cancer in Europe, and the scope for prevention.

TL;DR: A large potential exists for reducing the burden of cancer caused by infections, and population-based vaccination and screen-and-treat programmes should be made accessible and available.

TL;DR: OPC incidence significantly increased during 1983 to 2002 predominantly in developed countries and at younger ages, underscore a potential role for HPV infection on increasing OPC incidence, particularly among men.

TL;DR: In spite of effective screening methods, cervical cancer continues to be a major public health problem and new methodologies of cervical cancer prevention should be made available and accessible for women of all countries through well-organised programmes.
