About cervical cancer

Worldwide, more than 500,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and over 280,000 women die from it each year. In the United States, after breast cancer, cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women ages 20- 39. Furthermore, approximately two million precancerous lesions are diagnosed each year in the U.S. Cervical cancer and precancerous lesions are a major health, psychological and social burden on women everywhere.

At any given time, only 2.3 percent of women ages 14-59 are currently infected with cancer-causing human papillomavirus types 16 or 18. Only 0.1 percent is currently infected with both types. Therefore, the vast majority of these women (up to 99.9 percent) may benefit from vaccination as they are potentially at risk for developing an infection in the future with these types. Naturally occurring infections with cancer-causing virus types may resolve on their own, but this previous exposure may not protect against future infections with the same virus types. Some infections persist and develop into precancerous lesions, which can advance into cancer. Progression from infection to cervical cancer may take as little as two years.
