Did you know?Cervical cancer is a type of cancer caused by HPV that can be detected early by a recommended screening test. Other types of cancer caused by HPV may not be found until they cause more serious health problems. HPV vaccination prevents infections that cause these cancers.
RecommendationsHPV vaccination can prevent over 90% of cancers caused by HPV, as well as anal, vaginal, cervical, and vulvar pre-cancers (abnormal cells that can lead to cancer).
