May 2017
Article Synopsis
- Cervical cancer is a major health issue in the Philippines, being the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women, with HPV vaccination offering protection.
- Two HPV vaccines have been approved for use in a new 2-dose schedule, which led to a study evaluating the cost-effectiveness of vaccinating 13-year-old girls in conjunction with existing screening methods.
- The study found that the AS04-HPV-16/18 vaccine was more effective and cost-efficient than the 4vHPV vaccine, preventing more cases of cervical cancer and resulting in lower overall costs.
