Sponsored Content by BGI GenomicsAug 15 2023Reviewed by Olivia Frost Cervical cancer is the fourth most prevalent cancer among women on a global scale, comprising approximately 604,000 new cases and leading to 342,000 deaths worldwide.
To bolster these ambitions, BGI Genomics has introduced a comprehensive global report on cervical cancer awareness. More choice, fewer barriers: Among women under 25 years of age, the prevalence of HPV was notably high at 22%. However, a notable 43.5% of women in the surveyed age range of 21 to 25, the highest percentage among the groups, showed reluctance due to the prospect of having a male doctor conduct a pap smear. This underscores the need to provide women, especially the younger ones, with the option of undergoing HPV DNA tests alongside pap smear screenings.
Specifically, Saudi Arabia and Serbia have the highest percentages of women who have never undergone cervical cancer screening. This discrepancy highlights an awareness gap that influences cervical cancer screening rates.What do women know about cervical cancer screening? Internationally, awareness of the pap smear surpasses that of the HPV DNA test by a factor of two.
Between 2019 and 2021, the coverage of the first dose of HPV vaccination experienced a significant decline from 25% to 15%. This resulted in 3.5 million more girls missing out on HPV vaccination in 2021 compared to 2019. To counteract this downward trend, countries must intensify their efforts to enhance HPV vaccination programs.Is there a vaccination awareness gap? The leading factor deterring women from cervical cancer vaccination is the lack of knowledge about where to receive the vaccine .
HPV vaccination serves as a primary preventive measure and does not eliminate the need for later-life screening. This is because current vaccines do not offer protection against all high-risk HPV types and exert a limited influence on disease in unvaccinated women and those vaccinated at older ages.Are there synergies between screening and awareness? Of individuals who received the HPV vaccine, a substantial 82.
