Collection and analysis of data from the Czech Cervical Cancer Screening Programme. Organizational and educational materials on cervical cancer prevention. 60 60 Studies reveal potential of HPV vaccine to substantially reduce incidence of cervical cancer and suggest screening programmes could be modified http://www.cervix.cz/index.php?pg=aktuality&aid=150 The bivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine (Cervarix, GlaxoSmithKline) offers excellent protection against the more serious immediate precursor to invasive cervical cancer (ICC), particularly when given to young adolescent girls before they become sexually active. The findings of two studies published in The Lancet Oncology, also show that the vaccine partially protects against four other cancer-causing HPV types not targeted by the formulation, that together with HPV16/18, cause about 85% of cervical cancer worldwide.
