Incidence of vulvar high-grade precancerous lesions and cancer in Denmark before and after introduction of HPV vaccination.

CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the incidence of VSCC and vulvar precancerous lesions increased during 1997-2018. However, after introduction of HPV vaccination, the incidence of vulvar precancerous lesions decreased among women aged <20 and 20-29 years, pointing towards a possible effect of HPV vaccination in this group. This development should be followed in the future. PMID: 32276790 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
