Cervical cancer elimination possible within two decades in the US

(Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health) At current levels of screening and HPV vaccination, cervical cancer incidence in the US is projected to fall below the threshold of elimination by 2038-2046. Scaling up screening coverage to 90% could expedite elimination timing by 10-13 years and avert an average of 1,400-2,088 additional cases per year.
