Let’s End HPV-Related Cancers

Learn about the significant impact of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) on cancer rates globally and efforts to eliminate HPV-related cancers such as cervical, head & neck, vulvar, penile, anal, and vaginal cancers. Discover the importance of vaccination, screening, and treatment in reducing morbidity and mortality from HPV infections. Join the mission to achieve eradication and extinction of HPV infections, guided by global health organizations like the WHO. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against HPV-related cancers.

  1. Anna R Giuliano, PhD Center for Immunization and Infection Research in Cancer (CIIRC) Moffitt Cancer Center Let’s End HPV-Related Cancers

  2. Every 2 minutes one more woman dies from cervical cancer

  3. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus • 1 out of 20 cancers in men and women is caused by HPV >$10 billion are spent annually in the US to diagnose and treat HPV-related diseases

  4. HPV Causes Multiple Cancers in Men and Women % cancer cases caused by HPV in the U.S Cervical Cancer 100% 50% 80% Head & Neck Cancer Vulvar Cancer HPV 50% 80% Penile cancer Anal Cancer 50% Vaginal Cancer

  5. Decreasing Cervical Cancer Incidence and Increasing Male Oropharyngeal Cancer Incidence US NPCR and SEER data Annual Percent Change (APC) Cervical = -1.6% Oropharyngeal = 2.7% Van Dyne et al MMWR August 2018

  6. Infection/Disease Control to Extinction • Control • Reduction of disease incidence, prevalence, morbidity, and mortality to acceptable levels • Elimination of Disease • Reduction to zero, or near zero, incidence of disease in a defined geographic area • Elimination of Infection • Reduction to zero, or near zero, incidence of infection caused by a specific agent in a defined geographic area • Eradication • Permanent reduction to zero worldwide incidence of infection caused by a specific agent • Extinction • The specific agent no longer exists in nature or the laboratory Dahlem, Workshop on Eradication of Infectious Diseases, 1997

  7. To Eliminate Cervical Cancer Vaccine Treatment Screening

  8. Dr. TedrosAdhanom GhebreyesusDirector-General, WHO “I am calling for coordinated action globally to eliminate #CervicalCancer...We have the tools and, crucially, the political commitment to achieve it.” May 19, 2018

  9. All 70 NCI-Designated Cancer Centers Endorse Goal of Eliminating HPV-Related Cancers June 7, 2018 As national leaders in cancer research and cancer care, we issue the following call to action in alignment with the nation’s Healthy People 2020 goals: vaccination of more than 80% of males and females ages 13-15 by 2020; screen 93% of age-eligible females for cervical cancer; and provide prompt follow up and proper treatment of females who screen positive for high grade cervical precancerous lesions. Statement supported by: ASCO, AACI, AACR, ASPO, the Prevent Cancer Foundation, and the ACS
