Description
Paula Cristina Pungartnik and co-authors present a 2026 study on early deaths from HPV-linked cancers in Brazil and Mexico. The virus is a preventable cause of cancer death in Latin America. The team compared deaths, years of life lost, and lost productive years between 2011 and 2023. Counts were split by sex, age, and cancer site.
Deaths rose in both countries, in step with population change. Cervical cancer dominated the toll. In men, throat cancer losses rose sharply, and anal cancer losses more than doubled in Brazil. Productive years lost topped 97,000 in Brazil and 51,000 in Mexico in 2023. Deaths clustered past age sixty, yet younger losses were large. The authors urge wider vaccination and screening.
