Cervical Cancer: 90-70-90 and Palliative Care
Abstract
Both the number of women developing cervical cancer and those dying from the disease will be reduced with a 67% reduction in incidence together with 62 million cervical cancer deaths averted by 2120. Over ambitious? Not really. With the implementation of HPV vaccination in girls in 2007 and young boys in 2013 throughout Australia, it is estimated that cervical cancer will be eliminated by 2035. Very impressive outcomes surely make HPV vaccines an anticancer vaccine.
