Two prophylactic vaccines against HPV16 and 18 infections are commercially available. Published clinical trials with these HPV vaccines report their use in protection against cervical CIN2+ if girls are vaccinated before their sexual debut. Even though HPV 16 and 18 cause approximately 70% of cervical cancer and an almost 100% of effectiveness would be expected against these cancers, other type...

Despite declines in cervical cancer mortality in developed countries, cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates remain high in Jamaica due to low levels of screening. Effective interventions are needed to decrease barriers to preventive behaviors and increase adoption of behaviors and services to improve prospects of survival. We enrolled 225 women attending health facilities in an interven...

PURPOSE Cervical cancer screening has been consistently shown to be effective in reducing the incidence rate and mortality from cervical cancer. However, cervical screening attendance rates are still far from satisfactory in many countries. Strategies, health promotion and education programs need to be developed with clear evidence of the causes and factors relating to the low attendance rate. ...
