ImportanceHuman papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination has been associated with reduced risk of high-grade cervical lesions. However, evidence on its association with high-grade vulvovaginal lesions remains scarce.ObjectiveTo evaluate the association between quadrivalent HPV vaccination and high-grade vulvovaginal lesions and assess the population-level incidence reduction among birth cohorts eligible for various vaccination programs.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis population-based cohort study included women who were born between 1985 and 1998 and resided in Sweden between 2006 and 2022. Eligible participants had not previously received an HPV vaccination and did not have high-grade vulvovaginal lesions. Data were analyzed from February to October 2025.ExposureHPV vaccination status was treated as a time-varying exposure, and birth cohorts corresponded to different vaccination programs: 1985 to 1988 (opportunistic vaccination program), 1989 to 1992 (subsidized vaccination), and 1993 to 1998 (catch-up vaccination).Main Outcome and MeasuresThe main outcome was incidence of high-grade vulvovaginal lesions, including cancers. Poisson regression models were used to estimate incidence rate ratios with 95% CIs.ResultsAmong 778 943 women, a total of 256 353 (32.9%) received at least 1 dose of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine. The median (IQR) follow-up duration was 17.0 (17.0-17.0) years for unvaccinated women, 12.2 (10.6-13.4) years for those vaccinated between ages 10 and 16 years, and 10.8 (9.3-13.5) years for those vaccinated at 17 years or older. During follow-up, 98 cases of high-grade vulvovaginal lesions were found in vaccinated women, and 547 cases were found in unvaccinated women. Compared with unvaccinated women, the fully adjusted incidence rate ratio of high-grade vulvovaginal lesions was 0.63 (95% CI, 0.50-0.81) in vaccinated women. Stratified by age at vaccination, the incidence rate ratios for those vaccinated at 10 to 16 years and 17 years or older were 0.45 (95% CI, 0.32-0.65) and 0.80 (95% CI, 0.61-1.06), respectively. Compared with women born between 1985 and 1988, the incidence rate ratios for those born in 1989 to 1992 and 1993 to 1998 were 0.81 (95% CI, 0.67-0.97) and 0.62 (95% CI, 0.49-0.80), respectively.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cohort study, vaccinated women had a lower incidence of high-grade vulvovaginal lesions compared with unvaccinated women, with a greater incidence reduction for those vaccinated at younger ages (before 17 years of age). Population-level incidence reduction was observed in cohorts vaccinated through subsidized or catch-up programs. These findings support that scaling up coverage of HPV vaccination at younger ages may help prevent high-grade vulvovaginal lesions.

Importance Breast cancer treatment is associated with cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI). However, the association of endocrine therapy (ET) vs chemotherapy plus endocrine therapy (CET) with CRCI is poorly understood. Objective To compare patient-reported CRCI between women with breast cancer treated with ET vs CET and to consider whether menopausal status may be associated. Design, Settings, and Participants This was a prespecified secondary analysis of RxPONDER (SWOG S1007), a multinational phase 3 randomized clinical trial of more than 5000 women with hormone receptor−positive <jats:italic>ERBB2</jats:italic> -negative (formerly <jats:italic>HER2</jats:italic> -negative) breast cancer with 1 to 3 involved lymph nodes and Oncotype DX (21-gene recurrence score) of 25 or less. Participants were enrolled from February 2011 to September 2017, with results first reported in December 2020. Participants were randomly assigned to CET or ET, with ongoing follow-up. This secondary analysis assessed cognitive function using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Perceived Cognitive Function Concerns (PCF) questionnaire at baseline, 6, 12, and 36 months. Data were analyzed from July 2022 to August 2025. Intervention Random assignment to CET or ET. Main Outcomes and Measures Mean PCF standardized (T) scores by menopausal status over time using generalized estimating equations analysis for continuous outcomes. Results Of the 568 patients who completed the baseline questionnaire and were included in the analysis, 139 (24%) were premenopausal (median [range] age, 47.8 [28.0-56.3] years) and 429 (76%) were postmenopausal (median [range] age, 62.3 [37.3-87.6] years). Among the 274 (48%) who received CET and the 294 (52%) who received ET alone, CET was determined to have a greater negative association with patient-reported CRCI in both the pre- and postmenopausal participants during the 36-month follow-up. In the ET alone group, PCF scores for premenopausal participants decreased from baseline to 6 and 12 months (53.53, 51.51, and 51.72, respectively) but recovered to baseline (54.36) at 36 months. For postmenopausal participants, mean PCF scores were essentially stable (51.72, 51.13, 51.11, and 51.70, respectively); however, in the CET group, PCF scores for both pre- and postmenopausal participants decreased from baseline to 6 and 12 months (premenopausal, 52.84, 49.27, 48.04; postmenopausal, 50.65, 48.39, 47.13, respectively) and did not return to baseline at 36 months (premenopausal, 49.25; postmenopausal, 48.44). The difference in longitudinal mean PCF scores over time between CET and ET groups was −3.02 (95% CI, −5.33 to −0.72; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = .01) for premenopausal and −2.37 (95% CI, −3.92 to −0.82; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = .003) for postmenopausal participants.

ImportanceObservational studies have associated use of aspirin and selective cyclooxygenase inhibitors with decreased recurrence and improved survival in patients with colon cancer. While randomized clinical trials have not shown benefit across all patients, these findings suggest that select subgroups may benefit from their use. Despite the well-established prognostic value of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), its role in guiding treatment remains unclear.ObjectiveTo investigate the predictive value of postoperative ctDNA for survival outcomes with adjuvant celecoxib alongside conventional chemotherapy in patients with stage III colon cancer.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis was a post hoc analysis of the phase 3 Cancer and Leukemia Group B (now Alliance)/Southwest Oncology Group 80702 randomized clinical trial (2010-2015) assessing adjuvant celecoxib vs placebo and 3 vs 6 months of adjuvant 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin for stage III colon cancer. Patients consented to biospecimen collection and had ctDNA analysis performed. Data analysis was performed from September 2024 to June 2025.ExposuresPostoperative ctDNA positivity was determined using a clinically validated, tumor-informed 16-plex-polymerase chain reaction-next-generation sequencing assay (Signatera; Natera Inc) performed between surgery and initiation of adjuvant therapy.Main Outcomes and MeasuresDisease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Survival by ctDNA status and adjuvant celecoxib use were assessed as part of a post hoc companion study with prespecified statistical analysis plan.ResultsAmong 940 patients (mean [SD] age, 60.9 [10.8] years; 426 female [45.3%] and 515 male [54.7%] individuals; 222 [23.6%] with prior low-dose aspirin use; and median follow-up of 6.0 [95% CI, 6.0-6.0] years), 767 (81.6%) were ctDNA negative and 173 (18.4%) were ctDNA positive. ctDNA positivity was highly prognostic of worse DFS (reference, ctDNA negativity; adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 6.12; 95% CI, 4.66-8.03) and OS (aHR, 5.86; 95% CI, 4.19-8.19). In patients with ctDNA positivity, celecoxib was associated with improved DFS (aHR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.42-0.89) and OS (aHR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.40-0.96) compared to placebo. Among patients with ctDNA negativity, celecoxib did not provide survival benefit (DFS: aHR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.53-1.09; OS: aHR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.54-1.36), although the interaction was not significant (P for interaction, .41 and .33 for DFS and OS, respectively). These findings persisted when stratifying patients by microsatellite instability status and PIK3CA mutational status.Conclusion and RelevanceThe findings of this post hoc analysis suggest that ctDNA status has the potential to inform clinical decision-making among patients with stage III colon cancer who should consider adjuvant celecoxib in addition to conventional chemotherapy.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01150045.
