Cervical cancer death rates among women in the United Kingdom have fallen by around 80% since 1950. by Hannah Ritchie — Our World in Data

Cervical cancer death rates among women in the United Kingdom have fallen by around 80% since 1950.

In 1950 there 8.6 deaths from cervical cancer per 100 000 women. By 2021 this had fallen to 1.7.

Phase 2 of cancer treatment starts tomorrow, the internal brachytherapy. It will be an uncomfortable 10 minutes at the main hospital. But it's only 3 treatments, and hopefully this will take care of this. My journey isn't over yet. #cancersucks #endometrialcancer #cervicalcancer

Cervical Cancer Prevention in the Digital Era: Advances in Screening, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Artificial Intelligence The history of screening for cervical cancer is rich with implementing cutting-edge ideas and technologies. From the very first “Pap smear” to the semi-automated and computerized systems of today, the way we screen for cervical cancer has changed dramatically in the past 75 years. With the advent of new techniques and more advanced machine learning algorithms, we sought to understand the current and future applications of artificial intelligence in clinical pathology around cervical cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment.

🎯 Cervical cancer prevention is entering a digital era, with AI and digital pathology opening new possibilities for smarter screening and diagnosis. @ampath.bsky.social

Health Beliefs and Perspectives of Parents Regarding Human Papillomavirus Vaccination in Kuwait: Qualitative Study Background: After breast #Cancer, cervical #Cancer (CC) is one of the leading causes of female mortality. CC accounts for more than 7.5% of female #Cancer deaths worldwide. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted disease in women and the leading cause of CC in almost 99% of all CC cases. HPV vaccination could prevent up to 70% of HPV-related CC and 90% of genital warts. HPV vaccination is the bedrock of primary prevention and helps reduce the incidence and death rates of HPV-associated CC. Objective: The study aimed to understand the knowledge, health beliefs, and perspectives of Kuwaiti parents regarding HPV vaccination, with the goal of developing a health promotion policy and introducing a national immunization program in Kuwait. Methods: A total of 37 participants were evaluated using purposive sampling to select 20 (54%) participants for one-on-one semistructured interviews. We wanted to include both participants (male and female parents) with primary education (diploma or below) or secondary and higher education (bachelor’s degree and above). We had four categories (male parents/guardians with a diploma or below, male parents/guardians with a bachelor’s degree or above, female parents/guardians with a diploma or below, and female parents/guardians with a bachelor’s degree or above) with at least 5 participants in each category, which gave us 20 participants. Semistructured interviews were based on the Health Belief Model (HBM). The data were thematically analyzed using an inductive approach, generating themes through the theoretical framework of the HBM, and theme extraction analyses were managed on a semantic level. Results: We identified 7 main themes containing 20 subthemes. The seven themes were (1) knowledge and awareness about HPV infection and vaccination (3 subthemes); (2) perceived susceptibility, which is explained by the HPV infection effect based on sex (2 subthemes); (3) perceived barriers to HPV vaccination (8 subthemes); (4) perceived benefits (1 subtheme); (5) perceived severity (2 subthemes); (6) perceived efficacy (2 subthemes); and (7) cues to action (2 subthemes). Conclusions: The HBM framework is beneficial for Kuwait’s HPV vaccination campaign. The correlation between sexual intercourse and the HPV vaccine frequently adds complexity to the decision-making process about immunization. This study demonstrates that positive cues to action from health care practitioners and educational vaccination benefits can overcome perceived barriers among parents related to stigma and religion. It is essential to conduct more such research to guide the development of interventions aimed at promoting adoption of the HPV vaccine.

🇮🇳 India has started the world’s biggest #HPV vaccination drive 💉 aiming to protect millions of teens each year from #CervicalCancer. The vaccines are free at public clinics ❤️. Since cervical cancer causes around 80,000 deaths a year in India, this step could make a huge difference 📚✨.

Inequalities in cervical cancer prevention persist.

Racism, stigma and lack of trust can limit access to screening and HPV vaccination.

HPV-FASTER works with communities to co-create inclusive solutions.

Algorithm for monitoring treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grades 2 and 3. Flowchart shows: Treatment, HPV-based testing in 6 mo@1. Any positive HPV test or ASC-H, AGC at the 6-mo visit leads to colposcopy. Else, repeat HPV-based testing in 1 y.

💡 This Clinical Insights article outlines guideline-recommended #CervicalCancer posttreatment monitoring, which includes #HPV-based testing at 6, 18, and 30 months after treatment, followed by screening every three years for at least 25 years.
