Cervical cancer: at current vaccination rates, one million cases yearly by 2050

Despite the availability of HPV vaccines and screening tests, cervical cancer still kills hundreds of thousands of women annually worldwide. A new analysis published in Nature Medicine warns that without decisive action, new cases will exceed one million yearly by 2050, with deaths rising by nearly 40 percent. Scientists point to unequal access to vaccination and diagnostics, particularly in lower-income countries.
