However, evidence regarding the receipt of HPV vaccination and cancer diagnosis status is limited. Methods: We analyzed 2019 and 2022 National Health Interview Survey data, focusing on adults aged 18\u201345 years who were eligible for HPV vaccination. We performed descriptive statistics and evaluated associations using survey-weighted bivariable and multivariable logistic regression to assess the association between a personal history of any cancer diagnosis and receipt of HPV vaccination, adjusting for sociodemographic and behavioral factors. Results: Among 20,917 participants (mean [SD] age (years): 31.41 [13.58]), 489 (2.0%) were cancer survivors; 99 (19.3%) received HPV vaccination. Among 20,423 adults without a cancer diagnosis, 5317 (27.8%) had received HPV vaccination. Five participants had missing data on cancer history. Cancer survivors had significantly lower odds of HPV vaccination compared to adults without a personal cancer history (Adjusted Odds Ratio [aOR]: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.52\u20130.87, p = 0.003). Living in non-metro areas (aOR: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.66\u20130.89, p &lt; 0.001), smokers [current (aOR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.71\u20130.94, p = 0.005), and former (aOR: 0.75, 95% CI: 0.67\u20130.84, p &lt; 0.001)], non-US-born (aOR: 0.54, 95% CI: 0.47\u20130.61, p &lt; 0.001), uninsured (aOR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.52\u20130.69, p &lt; 0.001) had significantly lower odds of receiving HPV vaccination. Those who were 18\u201326 years (aOR: 5.49, 95% CI: 4.73\u20136.37, p &lt; 0.001), non-Hispanic others (aOR: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.11\u20131.75, p = 0.004), females (aOR: 3.18, 95% CI: 2.84\u20133.56, p &lt; 0.001), higher education [some college\/bachelor\u2019s education (aOR: 1.57, 95% CI: 1.41\u20131.74, p &lt; 0.001), and graduate degree\/professional scholar (aOR: 1.91, 95% CI: 1.65\u20132.22, p &lt; 0.001)], living in rented housing (aOR: 1.18, 95% CI: 1.08\u20131.29, p &lt; 0.001) had significantly higher odds of receiving HPV vaccination. Conclusions: HPV vaccination uptake is low among cancer survivors. Targeted interventions such as strong oncologists\u2019 recommendations, patient reminders, and care coordination between oncology and primary care professionals are needed to increase HPV vaccination uptake in this population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers18182945","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,11]],"date-time":"2026-09-11T08:17:42Z","timestamp":1789114662000},"page":"2945","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Association of Receipt of Human Papillomavirus Vaccination and Personal History of Cancer Diagnosis in the United States: A Cross-Sectional Study Using NHIS Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5451-7254","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manali","family":"Desai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cancer Prevention and Population Sciences, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA"},{"name":"Center for Healthy Communities, Department of Epidemiology, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Houston, TX 77030, USA"},{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"conceptualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"formal-analysis","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-original-draft","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"investigation","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"given":"Shreela V.","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Healthy Communities, Department of Epidemiology, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Houston, TX 77030, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"writing-review-editing","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"investigation","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4722-9262","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00ebl","family":"Fokom Domgue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cancer Prevention and Population Sciences, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA"},{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"conceptualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-review-editing","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"writing-review-editing","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"formal-analysis","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3329-5282","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenyaw","family":"Chan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics and Data Science, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Houston, TX 77030, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-review-editing","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0063-7856","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Charles","family":"Darkoh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Healthy Communities, Department of Epidemiology, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Houston, TX 77030, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-review-editing","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7622-376X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sanjay","family":"Shete","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cancer Prevention and Population Sciences, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA"},{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA"},{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"conceptualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"investigation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"data-curation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-review-editing","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"funding-acquisition","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"project-administration","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"supervision","vocabulary":"credit"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2025, October 03).
