World Cancer Day 2010 - "Cancer Can Be Prevented Too"
Infection caused by certain types of HPV is a significant cause of cervical cancer in women. Studies have also established a strong risk of oropharyngeal cancer from HPV infection which also plays a role in cancers of the anus, vulva, vagina, and penis.
Two vaccines to prevent HPV infections: Gardasil® and Cervarix® have been approved by The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Both vaccines have been found to tackle effectively the persistent infections with HPV types 16 and 18, which are behind the cause of 70 percent of cervical cancers.
There is concrete proof now that action on smoking, diet and infections can effectively stave off one third of cancers, and another third can be cured. With cancer raising its ugly head doggedly, we now have a choice of doing our best to prevent it. Undoubtedly, a cancer free life rests in your hands.
