Eliminating HPV-related diseases: lessons learned from immunization of other infectious diseases
•
Auditorium I
Several international organizations including the World Health Organization (WHO), International Papillomavirus Society (IPVS), the American Cancer Society (ACS), and all 70 Directors of National Cancer Institute (NCI)- Designated Cancer Centers in the United States have issued calls to action to eliminate cervical cancer and other HPV-related cancers. This call to action has been endorsed by cancer organizations such as AACR, ASCO, etc. HPV vaccination is central to achieving the goal of HPV-related cancer elimination. As such, there is much to be learned from efforts to eliminate other vaccine preventable diseases. This Road Map session will present the lessons learned from worldwide programs to eliminate polio, measles, rubella, and hepatitis B infection, information that will be useful in developing global strategies to eliminate HPV infections that cause cancer.
