“Anal cancer may be one of the most rapidly accelerating causes of cancer incidence and mortality in the U.S.'
Anal cancer incidence and deaths are on the rise, especially among millennial black men and certain white women, according to new research.
Anal cancer is less common than many other types of cancer, making up about 0.5% of all new U.S. cancer cases, according to the National Cancer Institute . Common risk factors include human papillomavirus ; being older than 50; having many sex partners; engaging in receptive anal sex; a history of cervical, vaginal or vulvar cancer; and medicines or conditions that suppress the immune system, including HIV, the Mayo Clinic says.
“If increasing SCCA incidence trends continue in older women and cervical cancer incidence continues to decline,” the authors added, “SCCA may surpass cervical cancer over the next 10 to 15 years to become the leading HPV-associated cancer in elderly U.S. women.” The average lifetime cancer-related cost for anal cancer patients 66 years and older was $50,150 in 2014 dollars, according to previous research co-authored by Deshmukh.
