HPV for Cervical Cancer

The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine has cut cases of cervical cancer by nearly 90%.

This information is based on research from a study.

Cancer Research UK described the case as “historic,” as they said it means that the vaccine saves lives.

Nearly all the cases of cervical cancer are because of the virus, so the hope is that vaccination would end the disease completely.

The researchers said the success means that people who are vaccinated will need fewer cervical smear tests.

More than 100 countries have started using the vaccine as part of the World Health Organization (WHO)’s plan to end this cancer.

The study, published in Lancet, which Lancet publishes, investigated what happened after they introduced the vaccine for girls in England in 2008.

He later showed that it reduces pre-cancerous growth and reduces cervical cancer by 87%.

Overall, the study estimated that the HPV program has prevented about 450 cancers and 17,200 pre-cancers.

One thing to know about this cancer is that it is the fourth most common cancer for women around the world; it kills more than 300,000 people each year.

Most of the infections with HPV go away by themselves without any treatment and would not have any symptoms, but constant infections could cause cervical cancer for women.

Almost nine out of ten deaths occur in low and middle-income countries where this cancer screening is widely available.

The hope is that vaccination will have an even bigger impact in poorer countries like the United Kingdom.
