Here are the top stories covered by DocWire News this week in the Hematology &amp; Oncology section. This week, a study found the HPV vaccine is having an impact, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Keytruda&reg; for small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and more.<a href="https://www.docwirenews.com/docwire-pick/hem-onc-picks/hpv-vaccine-is-having-a-substantial-impact-may-decrease-rate-of-cervical-cancer/">A study published in&nbsp;The Lancet&nbsp;reports</a> &ldquo;evidence of the substantial impact&rdquo; of the HPV vaccine on reducing the incidence of HPV infections, high-grade cervical lesions, and anogenital warts. The researchers noted that it is too soon to tell whether the HPV vaccine will lead to decreased cervical cancer rates; however, the results suggest that this may be the case, as the study shows that&nbsp;HPV infections and lesions are on the decline.<a href="https://www.docwirenews.com/docwire-pick/hem-onc-picks/keytruda-approved-for-small-cell-lung-cancer/">The FDA granted approval for&nbsp;Keytruda&reg;</a> (pembrolizumab) to treat metastatic SCLC. The approval was based on the results of the KEYNOTE-158&nbsp;and&nbsp;KEYNOTE-028 trials.<a href="https://www.docwirenews.com/docwire-pick/rheumatology-picks/chronic-pain-reported-in-1-in-3-cancer-survivors/">About one in three&nbsp;cancer&nbsp;survivors live with&nbsp;chronic pain</a>, according to a research letter published in&nbsp;JAMA Oncology. The analysis included 4,526&nbsp;cancer&nbsp;survivors, of whom 1,648 (34.6%) reported chronic pain and 768 (16.1%) reported high-impact chronic pain.<a href="https://www.docwirenews.com/docwire-pick/american-cancer-society-says-about-racial-disparities/">According to the&nbsp;American Cancer Society</a>, significant strides have been made over the past several decades to reduce the racial disparity of African Americans shouldering a disproportionate brunt of the country&rsquo;s cancer burden, although a disparity still remains.<a href="https://www.docwirenews.com/docwire-pick/hem-onc-picks/are-decision-aids-useful-for-men-choosing-prostate-cancer-screening/">A recent review compared the use of decision aids</a> versus usual care in men choosing to undergo&nbsp;prostate cancer screening. The researchers found that there is no strong evidence favoring the use of decision aids in this population. &ldquo;Well-designed decision aids may, at least in part, address these challenges by summarizing the current best evidence and by supporting conversations that address the issues that matter most to patients,&rdquo; according to the authors.
