Cervical Cancer-Free America Initiative Overview Changing the Dialogue about Cervical Cancer Prevention Jennifer S. Smith University of North Carolina JenniferS@unc.edu
Carolina Framework for Action against Cervical Cancer There are four key challenges to eradication of cervical cancer that a comprehensive public health strategy can address: • HPV infection • Lack of screening • Screening errors • Not receiving follow-up care for abnormal Pap smear results Brewer and Smith
HPV virus-like particles (VLPs): Basis of HPV vaccination • For Prevention of Cervical Cancer: • Persistent HPV 16/18 infections • HPV 16/18 abnormal pap smear
HPV Types by Cervical Status: Potential Impact of 16/18 Vaccine HPV Type Specific Prevalence in All Cases ~70% ~50% ~14-25% ICC data: Smith et al. Int Journal of Cancer, 2007, 121 (3), 621-32. HSIL data: Smith et al. Int Journal of Cancer, 2007, 121 (3), 621-32. LSIL data: Clifford et al. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers. 2005;14:1157-1164

Prophylactic HPV Vaccine Approved for Adolescent Girls *Routine vaccination for 11-12 year old females
HPV Vaccine Coverage National Immunization Survey-Teen Females aged 13-17 years US 2009: 44.3% (42.4%-46.1%) for 1+ dose 26.7% (25.2%-28.3%) for 3 doses completed August 20, 2010 / 59(32);1018-1023
Continued Need for Screening Following HPV Vaccination HPV Type Specific Prevalence in All Cases ~70% ~50% ~14-25% ICC data: Smith et al. Int Journal of Cancer, 2007, 121 (3), 621-32. HSIL data: Smith et al. Int Journal of Cancer, 2007, 121 (3), 621-32. LSIL data: Clifford et al. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers. 2005;14:1157-1164
