Prevention
National training programmes exist for
the prevention of cervical cancer. This
involves smear tests, colposcopy, and
treatment of pre-cancer where
appropriate. Vaccines are in development
against the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)
that causes cervical cancer. This may
help prevent cervical cancer in the
future. The vaccine that has received
the most publicity recently is against
HPV type 16 and 18 which cause 75% of
cervix cancers.
