“Footprinting” missing epidemiological data for cervical cancer: a case study in India

Abstract: Background Context-specific cervical cancer epidemiological data are essential to derive local impact projections of cervical cancer preventive measures. However, these are not always available, in particular in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where impact projections are essential to plan cervical cancer control programs. Methods and Findings We developed a framework, hereafter named Footprinting, to approximate the sexual behavior, human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence, and/or cervical cancer inci… Show more

“…Finally, we estimated the impacts for Tamil Nadu and West Bengal and extrapolated these to other states within each cluster. More details on model calibration can be found in previous publications (Man, Georges, Bonjour, & Baussano, 2022; Man, Georges, de Carvalho, et al, 2022) and in Appendices A.1-3. This study adheres to HPV-FRAME, a quality framework for modelled evaluations of HPV-related cancer control (Appendix A.4) (Canfell et al, 2019).…”

“…Since not all Indian states had high-quality data on cervical cancer incidence, we derived state-level projections in three steps: (1) we identified clusters of states with high or low cancer incidence; (2) we calibrated EpiMetHeos to type-specific HPV prevalence and sexual behaviour data from a representative high (Tamil Nadu) and low (West Bengal) cancer incidence state (online supplemental figure A.2); (3) we used the resulting projections to extrapolate cancer incidence to other states within the same cluster. Details about the calibration and clustering are provided elsewhere 16 22…”

“…Details about the calibration and clustering are provided elsewhere. 22,23 Furthermore, we adjusted the cancer detection rates to match the observed cervical cancer stage distribution in India, and we used key Indian demographic and epidemiological data, including background mortality rate, age distribution and hysterectomy rate. Finally, we extracted 5-year Indian cancer survival based on a literature review (Online Supplement Tables A.2-A.4).…”
