Study finds millions of cases could be avoided
Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women – but it’s also one of the most preventable. The rise of Pap screening and HPV vaccination have made early detection and prevention a life-saver for many.
But they could be saving many more lives, according to a new study which found that a substantial increase in screening and vaccination could prevent up to 13.4 million cases of cervical cancer worldwide in the next 50 years.
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide, with approximately 570,000 new cases diagnosed in 2018.
