HPV-FASTER: Combined strategies of HPV vaccination and HPV screening towards a one visit for cervical cancer preventive campaigns

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
HPV screening and vaccination are complementary
preventive options often implemented as separate
and non-coordinated public health programs. The HPVFASTER protocols aim to address this disconnect by
combining both strategies with the ultimate purpose of
accelerating the reduction of cervical cancer incidence
and mortality and making the programs both costeffective and sustainable.
Results from two phase III trials comparing HPV
vaccination against placebo among adult women (aged
up to 45 years and 55 years for 4vHPV and 2vHPV vaccines, respectively)1,2 showing high protection against
HPV type specific infections and persistent infections
and the excellent and consistent results of the HPVscreening trials3-5 provide the basis for the HPV-FASTER
proposal. The recognition of indications to vaccinate
adult women in Europe6-8 and the US9
 which do not
include an upper age limit, favor the exploration of
combined protocols of screening and vaccination and
broadening the vaccine indications in developed and
developing countries.
