Understanding the HPV Epidemic and the Vaccine Designed to Fight It
This lecture is geared toward anyone, in any age group,
interested in finding out more information about cervical
cancer prevention. The discussion is more like a journey of
discovery back to a period when we didn’t know about
abnormal Pap smears and about the causes of cervical cancer.
During these “dark ages,” no one knew that HPV, a double
standed virus, was the causative agent of cervical cancer.
Gardasil, first introduced in 2006, is one of the first vaccines
to combat this virus. Dr. Behram in this informative
discussion will talk about these key points:
- History of cervical disease and
early attempts to diagnose & treat
- Discovery of HPV as cause of
human cervical cancer
- Role of Gardasil in fighting
HPV-related disease.
