Abstract:
An interesting article in this issue of Läkartidningen argues for the benefit of a broad HPV vaccination with catch-up vaccination also for men, and sheds more light on HPV-related cancer in men. There has been an increase of HPV-related anal and oropharyngeal cancer in recent years, but no screening methods for these cancers have been implemented. A gender neutral catch-up vaccination would help to decrease the burden of oncogenic HPV in society, and would also be beneficial for females. Swedish authorities have now come to the conclusion that catch-up vaccination of men would be cost-effective, a decision that we strongly support.
