74 million cervical cancer cases and 62 million deaths could be averted over the next 100 years if 78 of the
poorest countries in the world are able to rapidly scale up HPV vaccination, cervical screening and access to cancer treatment services.
The two studies focus on 78 low and lower-middle income countries (LMIC) which bear the largest
cervical cancer burden, located in East Asia & Pacific, Europe & Central Asia, Latin American & Caribbean, Middle East & North Africa, South Asia, and SubSaharan Africa. In these countries, combining
vaccination of girls with twice-lifetime cervical
screening and improved access to invasive cervical cancer treatment was predicted to reduce cervical cancer incidence by 97% and mortality by almost
99%, and avert over 74 million cervical cancer cases and over 62 million deaths in the next 100 years.
