HPV and Cervical Cancer • HPV is the most common and most costly sexually transmitted disease worldwide • Nearly all cervical cancers are caused by the Human papillomavirus (HPV) strains 16 & 18 • About12,000 cervical cancer cases per year • About 4,000 cervical cancer deaths per year • Approximately 42.5% of U.S. women are infected with HPV at some point in their lives (National Cancer Institute, SEER Data, 2013) (American Cancer Society, 2012)

  3. Incidence and Mortality Rates 1999-2007

  5. Cervical Cancer Prevention • HPV Vaccine Recommendations: • Gardasil and Cervarix • Females ages 11-26: 11-17 and 18-26 years old • Males ages 11-21 • 3 doses over 6 months • Reducing Behavioral Risks • Regular use of condoms • Limiting the number of partners (ACS, 2012)

  6. Cervical Cancer Early Detection • HPV Testing Recommendations • Age 30 or older • Abnormal Pap smears • Cervical Cancer Screening Recommendations • Beginning at age 21 • Ages 21 to 29 - Pap test every 3 years • Ages 30 to 65 - Pap test and HPV test every 5 years; OR a Pap test alone every 3 years. (ACS, 2012; CDC, 2013)

  7. Cervical Cancer Risk Factors • HPV infection • Diet • Smoking • Poverty • Oral Contraceptives • Family History (ACS, 2012)

  8. Objective for Cervical Cancer • Healthy People 2020’s objective for cervical cancer is to reduce the mortality rate by 10%

  9. Factors Affecting Cervical Cancer Prevention and Treatment • Cost and Access to Care • Cultural Beliefs/Language • Lack of Knowledge/Literacy Misconceptions • Psychological Factors • Patient/Parents Factors/ Acceptance
