Abstract
In Latin America, the human papillomavirus (HPV) attributable fraction (AF) in cancers of the penis, anus, and head and neck (H&N) are estimated in 50%, 88%, and 25%, respectively. The HPV-AF of these cancers could be eliminated if HPV infection is prevented (e.g.vaccination). In Ecuador, the HPV vaccination program targets only 9-10-year girls. Since data on HPV-associated cancer burden in men are not available in Ecuador, we assessed real-world evidence using local databases.
