| high incidence of anal high-grade squamous intra-epithelial lesions among hiv-positive and hiv-negative homosexual and bisexual men. | the incidence of anal cancer among homosexual men exceeds that of cervical cancer in women, and hiv-positive homosexual men may be at even higher risk than hiv-negative men. cervical cancer is preceded by high-grade squamous intra-epithelial lesions (hsil) and anal hsil may similarly be the precursor to anal cancer. in this study, we describe the incidence of and risk factors for hsil in hiv-positive and hiv-negative homosexual and bisexual men. | 1998 | 9543448 |

| comparison of patient- and clinician-collected anal cytology samples to screen for human papillomavirus-associated anal intraepithelial neoplasia in men who have sex with men. | human papillomavirus (hpv)-associated anal cancer is increasing in prevalence and is more common among men who have sex with men and hiv-positive individuals than cervical cancer is among women in the united states. cytology screening can detect the anal cancer precursor, anal intraepithelial neoplasia (ain). little is known about self-collected samples for ain screening, and few community-based ain estimates exist. | 2008 | 18765699 |
| cervical cancer control research in vietnamese american communities. | census data show that the u.s. vietnamese population now exceeds 1,250,000. cervical cancer among vietnamese american women has been identified as an important health disparity. available data indicate the cervical cancer disparity may be due to low papanicolaou (pap) testing rates rather than variations in human papillomavirus infection rates and/or types. the cervical cancer incidence rates among vietnamese and non-latina white women in california during 2000 to 2002 were 14.0 and 7.3 per 100, ... | 2008 | 18990732 |
