| Vaccine could wipe out cervical cancer within 50 years |
| Cervical cancer could be eradicated within five decades by screening and vaccination programmes, a leading expert said yesterday. Professor Jack Cuzick called on European governments to spearhead a concerted effort to make the disease disappear. Currently vaccines exist that can protect women against two strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV) that causes cervical cancer. These alone had the potential to eradicate three quarters of cancers, said Prof Cuzick, from the Cancer Research UK Centre for Epidemiology in London. |
