HPV by the Numbers
According to data published in November 2008 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
- 25,000 HPV-associated cancers occurred annually in the U.S. between 1998 and 2003.
- More HPV-associated cancers occur in the cervix than any other site – about 10,800 per year.
- 8 women out of 100,000 were diagnosed with cervical cancer annually between 1998 and 2003.
- Black and Hispanic women had higher rates of cervical cancer when compared to white and non-Hispanic women (12 black women out of 100,000 women and 14 Hispanic women out of 100,000 women annually).
- Women with a history of cervical cancer have an increased risk of developing subsequent non-invasive cancers of the vagina and vulva, as well as invasive cancers of the vagina, vulva, and rectum.
