"It is best to vaccinate the HPV vaccine for girls before 15 years old"

WHO experts delivered a speech at the Pujiang Innovation Forum.

When can China be completely eliminated by cervical cancer? Andre Cavi Li, a senior scientist of the World Health Organization International Cancer Research Agency, answered the "Pujiang Innovation Forum" organized by the "Pujiang Innovation Forum" held on August 28.

In the afternoon of the same day, he brought the theme of "the World Health Organization to accelerate the global strategy of eliminating cervical cancer".

"It is best to vaccinate the HPV vaccine for girls before 15 years old"

According to Andre, the incidence of cervical cancer in the world is relatively high. The overall incidence of cervical cancer in China is not very high, but because of the large population in China, it accounts for 18%of the global cervical cancer incidence.

In terms of cervical cancer mortality, Africa and Southeast Asia have higher mortality, and China's mortality rate is not very high compared with other countries. But because of the large population, it accounts for 17%of the total mortality rate.

"In fact, cervical cancer has a process of cancer evolution. First, it is normal cervical cells, and then HPV infection. After 3 cancerous stages, there are invasive cancer." Andre said that because this is a natural cancer, the process is very long. In the process, the process is very long. For a long time, it can be prevented -vaccinated through HPV vaccine, and large -scale screening can be diagnosed with very early cancer. Treatment was performed early, with a 90%success rate.

Even if it has become an invasive cancer, Andre revealed that in fact, it can be better treated in early cancer screening. This treatment is more effective.

Because the HPV infection that has always existed may become cancerous, Andre proposes that it is best to vaccinate the HPV vaccine for girls before the age of 15 to avoid infection.

At a press conference held by the State Health and Health Commission on May 30 this year, Wang Linhong, chief expert of chronic diseases of the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also said that the HPV vaccine has the best protection effect on women with no infection with viruses. It is recommended that girls from 9 to 14 as the first inoculation people, the sooner the vaccination effect is better.

Eliminate cervical cancer worldwide

Andre introduced that two years later, WHO had a global strategy to help countries eventually eliminate cervical cancer.

Andre is looking forward to this, because this will be the first time in history to promise to eliminate a cancer.

There are three points to achieve such goals. Andre proposed that first of all, it was necessary to actively vaccinate. At least 90%of women were vaccinated before the age of 15. In addition, 70%of women must conduct high -risk HPV screening before the age of 35, and conduct at least twice between the ages of 35-45. 90%of women then have cervical diseases, such as cancer or cancer, should receive treatment and care. If these three points can be done, cervical cancer can be completely eliminated.

On the situation in China, Andre is more optimistic. He believes that China's incidence is now 11 of 100,000. If the three major strategies are added, China is expected to achieve full screening of cervical cancer from 2046-2050.

Andre said that China has been doing faster and faster since 2009, including vaccination. In addition, in some Chinese regions in 2014, there are pilot HPV testing projects. Screening and the screening of cervical cancer into the national medical insurance.

Andre said that although China's screening coverage is still relatively low, it still improves. The HPV vaccine was approved in China in 2016 and has a low coverage and has not yet entered the country for mandatory vaccination. However, by 2022, 44 cities in China have HPV vaccination plans and are developing in a good direction.

Regarding the expensive problem of HPV vaccination, Andre said that more and more evidence shows that one needle can actually have good protection effect, reduce costs and improve supply. In addition, there are some gender neutral vaccination programs. As long as boys and girls are vaccinated, the total proportion of 62-70%is more likely to help achieve group immunity.
