Higher odds of late-stage penile cancers were observed among Mexican and Puerto Rican males relative to European Spanish males. Lower odds of late-stage anorectal cancers were observed among Central or South American and Puerto Rican males. Having Medicaid or no insurance were associated with late-stage diagnosis for all cancers.Conclusions: These findings call for improved efforts to increase HPV vaccine uptake and completion among Hispanic males. Efforts to improve health care access and early detection from health care providers (e.g., primary care, dentists) are needed.
