*Data from Dutch national cancer registry unless reference number shown.

†Relative contribution among HPV positive cases

‡Cancer specific survival among men aged 45-74;younger men have better survival, older men have worse survival (data not shown).

§Relative risk of cancer among men who have sex with men (MSM) v heterosexual men.

¶Odds ratio for HPV positivity of cancer cases among men compared with women.
