Study on China achieving the WHO global elimination of cervical cancer / 上海预防医学

ABSTRACT

In May 2018， the World Health Organization （WHO） called for the "global elimination of cervical cancer" and China committed to join 194 countries worldwide to "eliminate cervical cancer". In November 2020， WHO released the Global Strategy for Accelerating the Elimination of Cervical Cancer， specifying the 2030 strategic goal. China has a large population， which makes the task of eliminating cervical cancer difficult. Based on the global and local burden of cervical cancer，we discussed the current situation of cervical cancer in China in the achievement of the elimination. We showed that in order to achieve the phased elimination goal of cervical cancer by 2030， the supply of HPV vaccine needs to increase by 38% every year， the HPV vaccination coverage needs to increase by 45% every year， and the screening coverage of cervical cancer in appropriate-aged women needs to increase by 10% every year. In conclusion， efforts should be made to expand cervical cancer screening， and to incorporate HPV vaccination into the national immunization program.
