Antibodies to HPV16 Measured in Blood up to 28 Years Prior to Oropharyngeal Cancer Diagnosis

Study by the NCI and IARC find human papillomavirus 16-E6 antibodies can be detected in the blood of people with HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer up to 28 years prior to diagnosis.

•	Read about these findings and how they inform the natural history model for HPV16-associated disease.

Incidence Rates Rising for Aggressive Subtypes of Uterine Cancer

New study shows that U.S. incidence rates for aggressive subtypes of uterine cancer rose rapidly among women age 30 to 79 from 2000 to 2015. Study also reveals racial disparities for these subtypes.

•	Read more about uterine cancer trends.

Risk Thresholds for Lung Cancer Screening

A higher risk threshold for selecting ever-smokers for screening with low-dose CT could lower the ratio of individuals screened to prevent one lung cancer death.

•	Read more about risk thresholds for lung cancer screening.

The Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) is a research program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Division is the world’s most comprehensive cancer epidemiology research group. Its renowned epidemiologists, geneticists, and biostatisticians conduct population and multidisciplinary research to discover the genetic and environmental determinants of cancer and new approaches to cancer prevention. The Division’s research impacts public health policy in the United States and around the world.
