Special Topics in Cancer

CDC provides information about a variety of cancer topics.

HPV and Cancer: Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been found to be associated with several kinds of cancer: cervical, vulvar, vaginal, penile, anal, and oropharyngeal (back of the throat, including the base of the tongue and tonsils).
International Cancer Control: CDC is working with partners to help coordinate cancer prevention and control programs globally and reduce the cancer burden in low- and middle- income countries.
Preventing Infections in Cancer Patients: People receiving chemotherapy are at risk for developing an infection when their white blood cell count is low.
Cancer, the Flu, and You: If you have cancer now or have had cancer in the past, you are at higher risk for complications from the seasonal flu or influenza, including hospitalization and death.
Health Disparities in Cancer: CDC monitors trends and patterns in cancer incidence and mortality and identifies which populations are disproportionately affected by the disease.
Cancer Survivorship: As the number of cancer survivors grows, CDC is working with partner organizations to help survivors, along with the people in their lives, throughout their cancer experience.
