Professional Education to improve cervical cancer prevention worldwide
- HPV vaccines and new diagnostic and screening tools have the potential to make cervical cancer largely a disease of the past.
- Lack of appropriate professional knowledge has recurrently been identified as one of the major hindrances to the implementation of national cancer control programmes and a contributing factor to late access to diagnosis and treatment.
- Knowledge transfer between professionals and to a lay audience is critical for long-term sustainability
A contribution to tackling these challenges is the UICC HPV and Cervical Cancer Curriculum, supported by a dedicated fellowship programme and a “train the trainer” approach.
