Never-Married Adults Carry Higher Cancer Burden, Large US Study Finds

A large US study using cancer registry data from 2015–2022 found never-married adults have higher cancer incidence than ever-married peers across many cancer types, with the strongest excess in HPV-related, smoking-related, and women’s reproductive cancers. The authors caution this does not prove causation and suggest marital status acts as a marker for social and lifestyle factors that influence risk; findings could help target prevention efforts toward never-married populations.

Experts push for HPV vaccine to prevent rise in cancer cases.

An awareness campaign is underway to promote the HPV vaccine, which can help prevent several types of cancer. While most parents of tweens have heard about it, many adults who could benefit from the shot don’t realize it. HPV-related throat cancer is predicted to soon be one of the most prevalent types of cancer among those aged 45 to 65. Doctors encourage vaccination, not just for kids, but for adults up to age 45. Increasing awareness among both adults and parents is a powerful tool to improve HPV vaccination rates and prevent future cancers.
