Prevalence and predictors of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination among young women surviving childhood cancer
Conclusion
Despite their increased risk for HPV-related complication, a minority of childhood cancer survivors have initiated or completed HPV vaccination. Modifiable factors associated with vaccine outcomes were identified.
Implications for Cancer Survivors
HPV vaccination is a useful tool for cancer prevention in survivorship, and interventions to increase vaccine uptake are warranted.
