The #HPV vaccine is highly effective.
It can prevent 9 in 10 cases of the most high-risk strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) – the #1 cause of #CervicalCancer.

#CervicalCancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer if caught early. Regular screening is crucial to detect changes in the cervix that could, if untreated, develop into cancer. bit.ly/41MNKY7
Every year, more than 300 000 women die from #CervicalCancer. 90% of cervical #cancer cases and deaths occur in low and middle-income countries. We can end this with better access to vaccination, screening and treatment. bit.ly/41MNKY7
More research from the US presented last year about the efficacy of the #hpv #vaccine. If you have children pre-teens or teens get them vaccinated! Getting infected with HPV and needing a cervical biopsy and cryo treatement is not fun, I went through it. Prevent #cervicalcancer and other #HPV related cancers!
NEW CLINIC PRIORITIZES CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING
On Mar. 3, the Waterloo Wellington Regional Cancer Program (WWRCP) adopted a new cervical cancer screening method, replacing the Pap test with Human Papillomavirus (HPV) testing.
Family doctors, nurse practitioners and midwives have started using HPV as the new primary cervical cancer screening method. This new test will lead to early detection and prevent long-term impacts of cervical cancer.
“While cytology-based Pap tests only looked for pre-cancerous or cancerous cells, we now know that the majority of all cervical cancers are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV),” Neil Naik, Regional Primary Care Lead for Cancer Screening and Prevention for Waterloo Wellington, said.
Pap tests detect abnormal or pre-cancerous cells on the cervix but don’t detect the virus itself.
Even when abnormal cells or changes within the cervical cells are detected, the examination process requires further investigation or treatment. Unlike the Pap test, which was recommended every three years, HPV testing is done every five years, starting at age 25, for individuals with a cervix, if the results are negative.
“This new approach tests for the presence of the 13 high-risk HPV strains known to cause cancer, allowing for earlier detection—before significant cellular changes occur,” Naik said.
Certain HPV strains can cause high risks for cervical cancer, especially types 16 and 18. The test can identify if a person is infected with these high-risk strains, even before abnormal cell changes occur.
“By checking for HPV—the virus that causes cervical cancer—we can detect it at an earlier stage, allowing for fewer unnecessary interventions and faster for those who need it,” Peter Potts, chief of staff at WRHN and a practicing obstetrician-gynecologist, said.
“The new screening only detects cancer-causing HPV strains, not those that cause warts, and the test was designed for people without symptoms,” he said.
The benefits of HPV testing has higher sensitivity, so it is better than cytology testing at detecting cervical pre-cancer or cancer. It is highly consistent and reproducible, and it has a higher predictive value, meaning negative results will correctly identify people who do not have a cervical pre-cancer or cancer and who will not develop cervical cancer in the next six years.
Local start-ups such as CELLECT Laboratories Inc. are also playing a role in advancing cervical cancer screening. CT Murphy, a nanotechnology engineering alumnus from the University of Waterloo, is developing new tools to improve HPV testing and accessibility.
Although the HPV vaccine protects against the most common cancer-causing strains, the testing is recommended for individuals with no symptoms to detect early exposure. HPV testing generally ends between the ages of 65 and 69, but it may continue based on the individual’s medical history.
Healthcare professionals recommend that people over age 25 take the HPV test screening if they took the HPV vaccination, feel healthy, have been through menopause, have had any family members with cervical cancer, or have had contact with a partner.

We’re secretly winning thwar on #cancer
"Age-adjusted death rate in the US for cancer has declined by about a third since 1991, meaning people of a given age have about a third lower risk of dying from cancer than people of the same age more than three decades ago..."
A study last year found death rates of #cervicalcancer — which can be caused by #HPV infections — in #US women ages 20-39 had dropped 62% from 2012 to 2021, thanks largely to the spread of the #HPVvaccine.

Member States established World #CervicalCancer Day and World #Prematurity Day as official WHO health campaigns. #WHA78
#CervicalCancer kills 350,000 women each year. Yet it could become the first cancer in history to be eliminated, thanks to HPV vaccines, timely screening & treatment. That is why I made a Call to Action in 2018. I’m so inspired by the dedication of the delegates at the #WHA78 to make it a reality.
#WHA78 also decided that the day we launched a global strategy to eliminate it — 17 November — will be officially recognized as World #CervicalCancer Elimination Day. I look forward to joining you in action this November!
2️⃣ New cervical cancer treatment promises hope and progress! This could change lives for countless women.

@frumble I really wish everyone who confront the #stigma associated with getting this #vaccine In the commercials, only Black and Latin people are depicted. (In the ones I have seen) because of the idiotic concept that non-white people are "hypersexual" (learned about this dumbassery in film class).
Get your kids vaccinated for #HPV It helps prevent #cervicalcancer #throatcancer and #colorectalcancer of some types.

“In a large randomized clinical trial, a new human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine effectively prevented infection and disease caused by nine HPV types, including seven types that cause cervical and other cancers—five of which were not covered by the previously available HPV vaccines—and two types that cause genital warts.”

“In the study of nearly 1.7 million women, the vaccine’s efficacy was particularly pronounced among girls vaccinated before age 17, among whom there was a nearly 90% reduction in cervical cancer incidence during the 11-year study period (2006 through 2017) compared with the incidence in women who had not been vaccinated.”

What is cervical cancer?
Cervical cancer is a serious disease caused by chronic HPV infection.
Women of all ages are at risk, especially those aged 25 and above.
A Pap smear can screen for it at an early stage.
According to WHO: HPV is the main cause of this disease in more than 90%.
