## Abstract Anal cancer is a rare cancer but its incidence is increasing. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection seems to be associated with the occurrence of most cases. The genotypeβspecific prevalence of HPV in anal cancer was estimated to assess the potential benefit of HPV vaccination in France.

Abstract
A systematic review was conducted of HPV type distribution in anal cancer and anal highβgrade and lowβgrade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL and LSIL). A Medline search of studies using PCR or hybrid capture for HPV DNA detection was completed. A total of 1,824 cases were included: 992 invasive anal cancers, 472 HSIL cases and 360 LSIL cases. Crude HPV prevalence in anal cancer, HSIL, and LSIL was 71, 91 and 88%, respectively. HPV16/18 prevalence was 72% in invasive anal cancer, 69% in HSIL and 27% in LSIL. The HPV 16 and/or 18 prevalence in invasive anal cancer cases was similar to that reported in invasive cervical cancer. If ongoing clinical trials show efficacy in preventing anal HPV infection and associated anal lesions, prophylactic HPV vaccines may play an important role for the primary prevention of these cancers in both genders.

## Abstract The aim of the study was to determine the incidences of anal cancer and highβgrade anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN2/3) over time in Danish women and men. Describing the burden of anal cancer and AIN may be valuable in future evaluations of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. We
## Background: Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (lsil) subsumes the formerly delineated cytologic categories of human papillomavirus (hpv)-associated cell changes (koilocytotic atypia) and low-grade dysplasia/cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (cin) grade 1 (cin1). in this study, the objec
