💉New study of HPV vaccine shows “robust population-level effectiveness & herd protection in adolescent girls & young women” From 2006-2023: ➡️ Proportion of vaxxed women positive for high-risk HPV-16 & -18 types fell 98.4%, proportion of unvaxxed women fell 71.6% 1/2 jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

“Healthcare personnel often do not realize that in the U.S., HPV-related mortality far surpasses the mortality from tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis & meningococcal disease combined. Each year, about 4,000 deaths are the result of cervical cancer; most are preventable through pre-exposure vaccination”

Great program from our #GlobalHPVConsortium partner!

Self-collection isn’t just promising, it’s performing! This NIH-backed trial in the U.S. shows that HPV self-sampling is highly sensitive and specific, with clear potential for increasing screening rates. Read more here: www.medpagetoday.com/hematologyon... #CervicalCancer #SelfSampling

Adoption of self-collection could help close the screening gap for underserved populations! In this study women in Kenya overwhelmingly accepted self-collection for HPV screening and results aligned closely with provider-collected samples.

OPINION: "Greenwood Leflore Hospital, one of the few remaining facilities in the Delta offering comprehensive cancer and gynecological care, is now in jeopardy," Brooks writes. "If it closes, women across multiple counties will have nowhere nearby to receive cervical-cancer screenings."
