Correlates of homosexual behavior and the incidence of anal cancer.
JAMA 1982 April 10
To determine whether characteristics that are correlated with male homosexual behavior are associated with the incidence of cancer, the names of persons with a diagnosis of cancer in western Washington during 1974 to 1979 were linked to those in the state syphlis registry. Eight of 47 men with anal cancer were found to have had a reactive FTA test result; the expected number, based on the proportion of reactive cases among men with other sites of cancer, was only 0.40. Among men with anal cancer identified through ten population-based cancer-reporting systems in the United States, 24.4% had never been married, compared with 7.8% of men with colon and rectal cancer. Neither of these relationships was observed for women with anal cancer. Because in men, but not in women, having had syphilis and being single are associated with the practice of anal intercourse, our data suggest that anal intercourse may be a risk factor for anal cancer.
