“…109 Several studies demonstrated that Black race (OR 0.70, 95% CI 0.59-0.83), socioeconomic status, and Medicaid insurance (OR 0.54, 95% CI 0.33-0.88) are associated with lower receipt of guideline-concordant chemoradiation for anal cancer. [110][111][112][113] Other studies showed that Black patients had longer time to treatment initiation (more than 6 weeks vs 6 weeks or less) (OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.53-2.08), as did patients with Medicaid insurance (OR 1.17, 95% CI 0.93-1.49) or low socioeconomic status. 114,115 This disparity in treatment leads to lower survival.…”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sponsored a project conducted by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists to develop educational materials for clinicians on the prevention and early diagnosis of gynecologic cancers. For this final module, focusing on the cancers of the lower anogenital tract (vulva, vagina, and anus), a panel of experts in evidence assessment from the Society for Academic Specialists in General Obstetrics and Gynecology, ASCCP, and the Society of Gynecologic Oncology reviewed relevant literature and current guidelines. Panel members conducted structured literature reviews, which were then reviewed by other panel members. Representatives from stakeholder professional and patient advocacy organizations met virtually in September 2022 to review and provide comment. This article is the executive summary of the review. It covers prevention, early diagnosis, and special considerations of lower anogenital tract cancer. Knowledge gaps are summarized to provide guidance for future research.
