一位顶尖科学家表示,接种 hpv 疫苗的女性可能一生只需做一次刮片检查,就可以帮助预防宫颈癌。目前在英国,适龄女性每三到五年会被邀请进行一次筛查。
nearly all cases of cervical cancer are caused by human papillomaviruses, known as hpv.
几乎所有宫颈癌病例都是由人乳头瘤病毒(hpv)引起的。
a 1 shift in preventing the disease started in 2008 with the introduction of the hpv 2. cervical cancers have fallen by nearly 90% in those immunised.
2008年,随着 hpv 疫苗(在英国)的引入,该疾病的预防发生了重大转变。在因接种疫苗而对病毒产生免疫的人群中,宫颈癌的发病率下降了近 90%。
peter sasieni, a professor of cancer prevention at king's college london, says the screening programme needs to adapt soon.
英国伦敦国王学院的癌症预防教授彼得·萨西尼表示,宫颈癌检查项目需要尽快作出调整。
he told inside health on radio 4 that current 3 meant screening at ages 30, 40 and 55 could be appropriate, and that more effective vaccines being introduced this year could mean only one test a lifetime.
他在 bbc 广播四台的 “inside health” 节目上说,目前的疫苗意味着在30岁、40岁和45岁时进行检查即可,而今年推出的更有效的疫苗可能意味着一生只需检查一次。
no decisions have yet been made about the future of screening, and there is still a question of how long protection lasts or if a midlife booster is needed, and regular screening will be needed for decades, due to the generations that have not been immunised.
关于未来宫颈癌检查计划的走向,目前尚未有定论,而且疫苗的保护效果会持续多久,到中年后是否需要打加强针,这些仍是问题。另外,由于几代人都没有对 hpv 的免疫,所以在几十年间需要定期做检查。
