Comprehensive Programme to Prevent Cervical Cancer-the Case of Hungary
Journal Title: International Journal of Virology and AIDS - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The overall purpose of a comprehensive cervical cancer prevention programme is to coordinate HPV vaccination (primary prevention) and cervical screening (secondary prevention). Harmonization of the HPV vaccination and population screening is expected to reduce the burden of cervical cancer by reducing human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, and detecting cervical pre-cancer lesions and invasive cancer earlier, providing timely treatment. In 2015, 80% of 7th class schoolgirls between 12-13 years of age received HPV vaccination in Hungary. Compliance with the offered screening needs to be increased.
