Show notes

Anal cancer is a rare cancer with a lot of stigma attached, and many misconceptions.While rates are significantly higher in men who have sex with men than those who don’t, more women are still diagnosed with the condition than men.We also know most cases are caused by infection with specific strains of human papillomavirus (HPV), driving home the importance of vaccination.Guest/sDr Mary Poynten, clinical epidemiologist and Group Leader of the Anal Cancer Prevention Research Group at the Kirby Institute at the UNSWReferencesAnal Cancer Screening Guidelines
