HPV and oropharyngeal cancer in Indigenous Australians

口咽癌经常被排除在影响澳大利亚土著和托雷斯海峡岛民的癌症之外。HPV是口咽癌的重要危险因素。人乳头瘤病毒疫苗对人乳头瘤病毒有效，目前的疫苗有可能预防口腔感染；潜在地降低口咽癌的风险。该项目将在提高澳大利亚土著和托雷斯海峡岛民的人乳头瘤病毒感染和口咽癌风险方面取得重要成果。

Oropharyngeal cancers are frequently excluded cancers affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. HPV is a significant risk factor for oropharyngeal cancer. HPV vaccination is effective against HPV, with some promise that current vaccines may prevent oral infections; potentially reducing the risk of oropharyngeal cancer. The project will have important outcomes to improve risk of HPV infection and oropharyngeal cancers among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.
