Over the last 12 years, the HPV vaccine has been gaining ground in the effort to prevent cervical cancer and other forms of cancer in men and women. For millions of Americans, an infection with the human papillomavirus, or HPV, will not lead to a serious health problem, said Dr. Mary Kelleher, chief medical officer at the Berks Community Health Center. But for thousands of others, the virus will develop into cancer. The vaccine is a great way to prevent the virus from developing into something more serious, she said.

Although human papillomavirus vaccination rates have steadily increased in recent years, more work is needed in this area to effectively reduce HPV-associated cancer, according to a new report release by the President's Cancer Panel. The report, "HPV Vaccination for Cancer Prevention: Progress, Opportunities and a Renewed Call to Action," found that although the percentage of adolescents who started the HPV vaccine series increased by an average of 5 percent each year between 2013 and 2017, less than half of all teens in the United States were fully vaccinated by 2017, well below the Healthy People 2020 goal of 80 percent. "We have a safe, effective vaccine that protects against a cancer-causing virus, and we applaud the efforts of cancer and immunization leaders joining forces and rising to the challenge of accelerating HPV vaccine uptake," said PCP chair Barbara K. Rimer, DrPH, in a statement. "Yet, the fact remains that this vaccine continues to be seriously underutilized."

Surgeons have long turned to a minimally invasive means of hysterectomy when treating early-stage cervical cancer. However, two new studies could change all that. Both found the approach was linked to a higher rate of cancer recurrence, plus worse long-term survival, compared to more "open" surgeries. "Minimally invasive surgery was adopted as an alternative to open radical hysterectomy before high-quality evidence regarding its impact on survival was available," said Dr. Jose Alejandro Rauh-Hain of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, who helped lead the study. Speaking in a university news release, Rauh-Hain said he was "surprised" to find that the technique "negatively affected oncologic outcomes for women with early-stage cervical cancer."
