Australia targets cervical cancer elimination through HPV vaccination and screening

Australia is racing to become the first nation to eliminate cervical cancer through widespread HPV vaccination and advanced screening. The country implemented a national vaccination programme in 2007 and expanded it to include boys in 2013, combined with sensitive HPV-based screening every five years. Scientists project elimination—defined as fewer than four cases per 100,000 people—within a decade.
