What will it take to eliminate cervical cancer in the USA?

Menée à l'aide d'une modélisation intégrant les données du programme de vaccination contre le papillomavirus humain et les données du programme de dépistage du cancer du col de l'utérus actuel, cette étude estime le délai nécessaire pour éradiquer le cancer du col utérin aux États-Unis

Résumé en anglais

Cervical cancer, a preventable disease, is the fourth most common cancer worldwide, accounting for the death of more than 311 000 women in 2018. Most of these women were living in low-income and middle-income countries where access to affordable, high-quality cancer health services, including those for cervical cancer prevention and control is profoundly limited. By contrast, in the USA, similar to other countries with robust cervical cancer prevention and control programmes, considerable declines in incidence and mortality of cervical cancer have been observed in the past few decades, with an age-standardised incidence of 6·5 cases per 100 000 women in 2018.
