Apel pentru vaccinarea anti-HPV a femeilor: 10 paciente sunt diagnosticate zilnic cu cancer de col uterin în România

The Federation of Cancer Patients' Associations emphasizes the importance of HPV vaccination for adult women, particularly those aged 19 to 45, to prevent gynecological cancers. With September marking Gynecological Cancer Awareness Month, the organization highlights alarming statistics about cervical cancer in Romania, where ten women are diagnosed daily. HPV, responsible for 99% of cervical cancer cases, often goes unnoticed, leading to late diagnoses. The president of FABC advocates for adult vaccination as a crucial preventive measure, noting that women aged 27 to 45 can receive a subsidized vaccine. The federation calls for better public awareness regarding the benefits of adult vaccination.
