The solution is vaccination
US professor Linda Eckert believes that the fight against cervical cancer can be won through vaccination against the human papillomavirus, writes the Daily Mail.
There is a whole movement against the HPV vaccine, which disseminates false information, for example, it is said that the administration of the drug can provoke a desire to begin sexual activity ahead of time. Therefore, in many countries, after the start of the vaccination campaign, the population began to refuse to administer the drug. Also difficult to carry out vaccination are problems with financing, but this is more likely to apply to poor countries.
Moreover, this virus is the main factor in the development of cervical cancer – 99 percent of cases. HPV is transmitted sexually. According to Eckert, up to 80 percent of women were infected with it at various times.
“If we can prevent HPV infection, we can prevent cervical cancer. That’s why we have the HPV vaccine. When given to girls aged 12-13 (before they are exposed to the virus), it prevents a staggering 90% cases of cervical cancer,” said the doctor.
