Sacramento, CA 95818
REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED
The 2010 Cervical Cancer and HPV Vaccine Summit served as the official launch of the CMA Foundation's California Cervical Cancer Free Campaign. The goal of the campaign is to raise awareness about cervical cancer and develop approaches to reduce the rate of this disease in California which kills more than 4,000 women nationwide. Each year, about 1,400 California women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and 400 die from this disease.
During the Summit, physicians, health care professionals, policy makers, cancer survivors and advocates discussed updates on the adoption and administration of the HPV vaccines as a key strategy for cervical cancer and sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention and discuss strategies to strengthen adoption of the vaccines.
Information about the two HPV vaccines currently available, the approval for boys ages 9 - 26 to receive the quadrivalent vaccine, and health care reform implications for women's preventive health issues, including cervical cancer and vaccinations, were highlighted. Interactive breakout sessions engaged participants in discussions about the necessary steps to be taken to increase vaccination and cervical cancer screening rates in California, as well as highlighting ways to reduce the disparities associated with cervical cancer.
