Svensk konsensus om vaccination mot cervixcancer. Vaccinprogram bör införas i grundskolan med sikte på att utrota HPV16/18

• Vaccination against the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) has recently been approved as a means to prevent cervical cancer. The Swedish Institute for Infectious Disease Control and the Swedish Society for Obstetrics & Gynecology arranged a consensus conference to discuss design of future cervical cancer prevention programs. Conclusions include that preventive programs should aim at eradication of oncogenic HPV 16/18 infection and that the potentially preventable cervical cancers should no longer occur. Necessary prerequisites include adoption of a population-based vaccination program in primary school, an HPV vaccination registry and coordination of cervical cancer preventive efforts on vaccination and cervical screening.
