“…Raising awareness for HPVrelated cancer allows for the empowerment of survivors, which results in the development of key opinion leaders in the realm of HPV vaccine advocacy. 229 Thus, clinicians should routinely attend to the informational needs of HPV-associated OPSCC patients and survivors as well as offer treatment or referral for the emotional, psychosocial, or sexual needs of HPV OPSCC survivors. [230][231][232] Further evaluation of HPV counseling implementation into routine care and corollary outcomes will be needed.…”

Objectives: To provide a consensus statement describing best practices and evidence regarding head and neck cancer survivorship.Methods: Key topics regarding head and neck cancer survivorship were identified by the multidisciplinary membership of the American Head and Neck Society Survivorship, Supportive Care & Rehabilitation Service. Guidelines were generated by combining expert opinion and a review of the literature and categorized by level of evidence.Results: Several areas regarding survivorship including dysphonia, dysphagia, fatigue, chronic pain, intimacy, the ability to return to work, financial toxicity, lymphedema, psycho-oncology, physical activity, and substance abuse were identified and discussed. Additionally, the group identified and described the role of key clinicians in survivorship including surgical, medical and radiation oncologists; dentists; primary care physicians; psychotherapists; as well as physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapists. Conclusion:Head and neck cancer survivorship is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach centered around patients and their caregivers. As survival related to head and neck cancer treatment improves, addressing post-treatment concerns appropriately is critically important to our patient's quality of life. There continues to be a need to define effective and efficient programs that can coordinate this multidisciplinary effort toward survivorship.

“…Physicians, on the other hand, frequently reported modest levels of concern about HPV infection. Lack of information about the vaccine and concerns about vaccine safety and cost were cited as reasons for rejecting the vaccine, demonstrating a widespread unfavorable attitude about the HPV vaccine that may underplay clinicians' role in prescribing immunization for their patients [ 20 ].…”

With 14 million new infections each year, the human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) among both men and women in the United States (US). Infections with the human papillomavirus (HPV) are responsible for a considerable portion of the global cancer burden. HPV-related oral malignancies are on the rise around the world, according to epidemiological studies. To provide accurate advice to their patients, dental practitioners require thorough, up-to-date HPV-related knowledge. Methods. In this cross-sectional study, data were collected by the purposely constructed questionnaire. A questionnaire composed of the demographic items and items related to the awareness and knowledge about Human papillomavirus. The questionnaire was constructed after a series of discussions between the panel of experts. This panel was composed of a subject specialist, researcher, and language expert. The Cronbach alpha of the questionnaire was calculated. The study will be conducted in the Al Qunfudhah. Results. The Cronbach alpha of the questionnaire was 0.72. Out of a total of 550 respondents, with a mean (SD) age of 47.5 (11.5), the female respondents were 167 (30.4%) while male were 383 (69.6%). 20.5% of the respondents (out of 550) were having awareness of HPV. Implications. Knowledge of HPV-related oral cancer is critical, and it is advised to be taught as part of dental students’ basic curriculum and clinical training. This problem can be solved by better educational training programs. Knowledge of HPV-related oral cancer is critical, and it is advised to be taught as part of dental students’ basic curriculum and clinical training.

“…Under this framework, there are several possible explanations for why families with mothers who had cervical cancer or cervical biopsies were not more likely to vaccinate their children against HPV. If families with a maternal history of cervical cancer or biopsy have not causally connected their diagnosis with HPV—which may be common 26 , 27 —then they may not have greater salience and thus no difference in complacency with respect to HPV vaccination for their children. Alternatively, families who have causally connected their diagnosis to HPV may not be more likely to vaccinate their children if the increased salience does not serve to adequately reduce complacency about the virus, overcome low confidence and mistrust in vaccines in general, or overcome attitudes specifically surrounding the HPV vaccine.…”

Key Points Question Is salience bias—the change in perception of risk due to increased familiarity with the outcome—associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination decisions? Findings In this cohort study of 757 428 children, there was no major difference in the HPV vaccination rate of children whose mothers had a history of either cervical cancer or a cervical biopsy compared with children whose mothers had neither history. Meaning These findings suggest that salience of vaccine-preventable outcomes is not associated with childhood vaccine hesitancy.
