Study design details

Main study objective

To assess trends and changes over time in the age-standardised incidence and in the crude incidence of anal cancer by age category (in the case of crude incidence), by sex, HPV-type and histological classification for each country* separately. *Five European countries are considered for this study and each country will be selected based on a set of criteria.

Outcomes

Age-standardised and crude incidence of anal cancer by age category (in the case of crude incidence), by sex, HPV-type and histological classification for each country separately, incidence of small intestine cancer by age category and sex for each country separately. Number of anal cancer cases expected to demonstrate vaccine effectiveness for each country separately.
