HPV and oropharyngeal cancer in Indigenous Australians

口咽癌是影响澳大利亚土著和托雷斯海峡岛民的经常被排除的癌症。HPV是口咽癌的重要危险因素。HPV疫苗接种对HPV有效，目前的疫苗可能会预防口腔感染;可能会降低口咽癌的风险。该项目将取得重要成果，以改善澳大利亚土著人和托雷斯海峡岛民的HPV感染和口咽癌风险。

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.
