62 million deaths from cervical cancer could be prevented in the next 100 years if the poorest countries in the world vaccinations can access quickly to Mass, early detection programs and treatment methods. In Germany alone, one in every three Sufferers dies currently on the type of cancer, although that would be often with simple measures avoidable.
500.000, so many people are likely to fall ill this year, according to the cancer information service in Germany alone, new to cancer. One of the cancers that would be early and consistent Prevention, nearly avoidable, is cervical cancer (cervical carcinoma). According to the professional Association of gynaecologists in Germany (BVF) suffer from it every year in Germany approximately 4300 women, every third dies of the disease. The risk of developing cervical cancer and reduced die by making appropriate Provisions, to more than 90 percent could be, the BVF,.
Cervical cancer cases could be reduced with simple means a strong
“No other cancer could be reduced by simple measures that strong. The possibilities for every girl and for every woman are available in Germany, the costs are covered by the health insurance companies,“ said Christian Albring, President of the professional Association of women doctors.
Cervical cancer occurs according to Albring already in young women under 30 years of age, as in women over 60 or over 70 years of age. Women 20 years of age should perceive, therefore, according to the BVF once a year, the cancer screening examination with your gynecologist or your gynecologist.
Prevent with vaccination – in contrast to most other types of cancer
In contrast to most other types of cancer, a cervical cancer can be prevented with a vaccination: children aged from nine years of age receive a vaccination against Human Papilloma virus (HPV), according to the BVF in a sustainable, effective protection against HPV infections. This had been the cause of more than 90 percent of all cases of cervical cancer.
74 million diseases could be prevented in the next 100 years
But not everywhere in the world, screening and early detection of cervical cancer is so easily accessible as it is in Germany. Worldwide, more than 74 million cases of illness and 62 million Deaths over the next 100 years could be avoided, such as the British “Guardian” reported.
For the poorest countries in the world would have to get 78 however, rapid access to HPV vaccinations and early detection programs and treatment methods for cervical cancer. This is what two recent studies.
One of the studies, researchers of the American Harvard University, the canadian University of Laval and the Australian cancer research organisation Cancer Council of New South Wales have recently published in the medical journal Lancet together with the world health organization.
Three research Teams independently come to similar results
In various countries on almost all continents, the three research Teams collected independently of each other data and came to similar results: Thus, cervical cancer is despite advances in high-income countries – still the fourth most common cancer in women. In some areas, low-income cervical cancer is the most common cancer-related cause of death.
The study suggests that 97 percent fewer women developing cervical cancer and 99 percent less on it would die, if, by 2020, 90 percent of the girls in the 78 poorest countries of the earth were to receive an HPV vaccination, 70% to early detection programs participated, and 90 percent received a cancer treatment.
How today’s investments in the long term can pay off
Karen Canfell, one of the participating scientists and Director of the Cancer Council of New South Wales, hopes that the countries concerned can use this information to understand what long-term effects of current investments in the health system.
Australia and England have declared cervical cancer, the fight
Wealthy countries have declared cervical cancer, longer the fight. Australia wants to have defeated, by 2035 the disease completely. This was announced by Karen Canfell, according to “The Guardian” in the past year.
England, therefore, is on a good way: Since 2008, a HPV will be carried out vaccinations in girls through school vaccination programs. In 2018, ten years later, were found, according to a recent study by a consulting Agency of the British Ministry of health no HPV infection in 16-to 18 – year-old women and girls more.
Individual challenges for each country
Each country is but a different set of challenges in the implementation of vaccination, early detection and screening programmes, says Karen Canfell. “All three of the measures have proved effective,” said the Professor, “and in high-income countries, they are very effective.” In terms of logistics and implementation are but for all the countries is a challenge. A crucial question is whether they are within an existing health system, or new structures must be built is, among other things.
