Joint disease mapping of cervical and male oropharyngeal cancer incidence in blacks and whites in South Carolina.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is an established causal agent for cervical cancer and a subset of oropharyngeal cancers. It is hypothesized that orogenital transmission results in oral cavity infection. In this paper we explore the geographical association between cervical and male oropharyngeal cancer incidence in blacks and whites in South Carolina using Bayesian joint disease mapping models fit to publicly available data. Our results suggest weak evidence for county-level association between the diseases, and different patterns of joint disease behavior for blacks and whites.
