From 2011 to 2021, cervical cancer in South Africa's national registry ran at about 30 cases per 100,000 women a year and began to fall from 2016, while cancers of the vulva, vagina, penis and anus caused by the same virus rose.
The authors used National Cancer Registry data and Statistics South Africa population estimates to calculate age-standardised incidence of cervical carcinoma and of vulvar, vaginal, penile, oropharyngeal and anal squamous cell carcinoma in people aged 15 and older, by sex, year, age and population group, with trends estimated by joinpoint regression.
Cancers driven by HPV other than cervical cancer are rising quickly in South Africa, most among Black South Africans, which the authors link to high HPV and HIV co-infection; HIV prevention and HPV vaccination are the levers.
