Associated Cancers in the (original) (raw)

The North Africa region exhibits a generally low incidence of HPV-related cancers, including cervical, anal, vaginal, vulvar, and pharyngeal cancers, amidst a background of conservative sexual behaviors. This study reviews existing epidemiological data and emphasizes the need for extensive population-based surveys to understand the shifting patterns of HPV prevalence, particularly in light of changing sexual behaviors among younger populations and migration trends. Inadequate national cancer registries complicate the assessment of HPV-related cancer incidence and prevalence.
