Voluntary medical male circumcision: modeling the impact and cost of expanding male circumcision for HIV prevention in eastern and southern Africa.

TL;DR: It is found that reaching 80% coverage and maintaining it until 2025 would avert 3.36 million new HIV infections, and the impact and cost of scaling up adult medical male circumcision in 13 priority countries in eastern and southern Africa is estimated to be $1.3bn.

Epidemiology and burden of HPV infection and related diseases: implications for prevention strategies.

TL;DR: HPV 16 and 18 are responsible for 70% of cervical cancer cases and, especially HPV 16, for a large proportion of other cancers, and prophylactic vaccination targeting these genotypes is expected to have a major impact on the burden of cervicalcancer as well as that of other HPV-related cancers.

The Burden of Human Papillomavirus Infections and Related Diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa

TL;DR: Strategies to reduce the excessive burden of HPV-related diseases in SSA include age-appropriate prophylactic HPV vaccination, cervical cancer prevention services for women of the reproductive ages, and control of HIV/AIDS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical trials of human papillomavirus vaccines and beyond

TL;DR: A strong increase in vaccine efficacy with increasing severity of the precancerous lesion is explained by accumulation of the most-oncogenic HPV types 16 and 18 in these lesions, and prophylactic HPV vaccination will exceed the best results from screening for cancer.

Estimates of worldwide burden of cancer in 2008: GLOBOCAN 2008.

TL;DR: The results for 20 world regions are presented, summarizing the global patterns for the eight most common cancers, and striking differences in the patterns of cancer from region to region are observed.

Longitudinal data analysis using generalized linear models

TL;DR: In this article, an extension of generalized linear models to the analysis of longitudinal data is proposed, which gives consistent estimates of the regression parameters and of their variance under mild assumptions about the time dependence.

Epidemiologic Classification of Human Papillomavirus Types Associated with Cervical Cancer

TL;DR: In addition to HPV types 16 and 18, types 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 68, 73, and 82Should be considered carcinogenic, or high-risk, types, and types 26, 53, and 66 should be considered probably carcinogenic.

Randomized, controlled intervention trial of male circumcision for reduction of HIV infection risk: the ANRS 1265 Trial.

TL;DR: Male circumcision provides a degree of protection against acquiring HIV infection, equivalent to what a vaccine of high efficacy would have achieved in sub-Saharan Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human papillomavirus and cervical cancer

TL;DR: The new HPV-oriented model of cervical carcinogenesis should gradually replace older morphological models based only on cytology and histology, and can minimise the incidence of cervical cancer, and the morbidity and mortality it causes, even in low-resource settings.
