'Every suggestion' HPV vaccine will cut cervical cancers

'Every suggestion' HPV vaccine will cut cervical cancers The success of the HPV vaccination offers hope of one day eradicating cervical cancer, say scientists who carried out a major review of evidence.

Vaccination against the human papilloma virus, which causes most cervical cancers, began over a decade ago.

Over decades, this should translate into a significant fall, and possible eradication, of the cancer they said. BBC News
