Creating a new #vaccine ecosystem to fight #cervical #cancer

📌 The Global #HPV Consortium, launching in Kuala Lumpur this week, aims to accelerate HPV prevention and cervical cancer elimination

📌 …. a woman dies of cervical cancer every 90 seconds. There are more than 600,000 cervical cancer cases globally per year, and some 350,000 deaths. That’s more than 1.5 million women dying every five years from a disease that, for the past 17 years, has been mostly preventable.

📌Adjuvant HPV vaccination in the setting of surgical treatment for cervical precancerous lesion is significantly associated with a reduced risk of recurrence. HPV vaccination should be strongly considered as adjuvant therapy, especially in young patients undergoing conisation for a severe cervical lesion.

#Cervical #cancer: Call for at-home smear tests in Wales

📌At-home smear tests should be introduced in Wales, campaigners say.

📌For women aged 25 to 64 a smear test is an effective way of detecting human papillomavirus (#HPV) and preventing cervical cancer.

📌Love Your Period campaigners said self-sampling at home would encourage more people to have the tests.

An Updated Analysis of the Impact of #HPV #Vaccination Based on Long-term Effectiveness in the Netherlands

📌 Vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) is considered the most effective strategy to protect women from #cervical #cancer.

📌 The study confirms the protective effect of the bivalent vaccine on cervical cancer. Moreover, it reflects a substantial additional value of vaccination compared to the benefits of vaccination that have been shown before

“Results have been promising. #AOH1996 can suppress tumor growth as a monotherapy or combination treatment in cell and animal models without resulting in toxicity.

AOH1996 has been effective in preclinical research treating cells derived from #breast, #prostate, #brain, #ovarian, #cervical, #skin and #lung #cancers”

Carcinogenesis and management of human papillomavirus‑associated #cervical #cancer

#HPV

📌 Cervical cancer is classified into two major histologic types, squamous cell carcinoma (72.6%) and adenocarcinoma (21.8%), with adenocarcinoma having a worse prognosis than squamous cell carcinoma

📌 To prevent cervical cancer, in addition to primary prevention by HPV vaccine, secondary prevention with early detection through screening is also important

Australia is on track to eliminate #cervical #cancer by 2035: Here’s what we’ve learned

👉 Looking back, it could have happened earlier...

📌 German virologist Harald zur Hausen was convinced by the early 1970s that the skin wart virus, human papilloma, was implicated in cervical cancer. Thirty years later we stand on the threshold of a vaccine to prevent this major killer of women (Peter McIntyre - 2005)

Microwave device could be less invasive treatment for #HPV-caused cancers

📌 A medical device that uses microwaves to destroy verrucas could provide a less invasive way of treating pre-cancers and #cancers caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), as well as genital warts.

📌 Almost all #cervical #cancers and most cancers of the vagina, vulva, penis and anus are caused by HPV. Certain variants of the virus cause genital warts

An overview of #cervical #cancer #epidemiology and #prevention in the Baltic States 🇪🇪🇱🇹🇱🇻

📌 Cervical cancer remains a substantial health problem in the region and the efforts in addressing barriers by implementing a four-step plan for elimination cervical cancer in Europe should be made.

📌 This goal is achievable through evidence-based steps in four key areas: vaccination, screening, treatment, and public awareness

Global strategy to accelerate the elimination of #cervical #cancer as a public health problem

👉 the following 90-70-90 targets that must be met by 2030 for countries to be on the path towards cervical cancer elimination:

📌 90% of girls fully vaccinated with #HPV vaccine by age 15 yr.
📌70% of women are screened by 35 yr and again by 45 yr
📌 90% of women identified with cervical disease receive treatment (90% with precancer treated, and 90% with invasive cancer managed).

Proportion of women in England not screened for #cervical #cancer at 10-year high

📌 About 3,200 women are diagnosed with it each year, of whom more than a quarter die.

📌 It is highly preventable through human papillomavirus (#HPV) vaccinations for 12- to 13-year-olds and cervical screening.

📌 Screening involves taking a small sample of cells from the cervix and looking for high-risk HPV that could develop into cancer if left untreated.
