USATODAY.com - Vaccine prevents cervical cancer The vaccine, called Gardasil, targets human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18, thought to cause 70% of cervical cancers, and HPV types 6 and 11, associated with 90% of genital warts cases. In April, the researchers suggested that the vaccine might be most effective in 10- to 13-year-olds, who are not likely to be infected with HPV. None of the females who received the vaccine was found to have precancerous changes or cervical cancer, compared with 21 of those who received the dummy shots. www.usatoday.com /news/nation/2005-10-06-cervicalcancer_x.htm   (574 words)

More evidence supports cervical cancer vaccine - - MSNBC.com Although HPV is widespread, cervical cancer is often caught in its earliest stages and is not a leading killer. The final-stage study of the vaccine included 10,559 sexually active women ages 16 to 26 in the United States and 12 other countries who were not infected with the HPV strains 16 or 18. Other types of HPV, which is sexually transmitted, also can cause cervical cancer and painful genital warts. www.msnbc.msn.com /id/9609603   (873 words)

National Cancer Institute - Vaccine for Cervical Cancer? A vaccine that prevented the HPV infections known to be behind most cervical cancers would be a powerful addition to disease prevention strategies. vaccine prevented women from becoming persistently infected with a virus that is associated with half of all cervical cancers, researchers reported in the November 21, 2002, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine (see the journal abstract of the study). There are other efforts to develop a cervical cancer vaccine, as well, including one trial sponsored by NCI that is not yet open to enrollment. www.cancer.gov /clinicaltrials/results/cervical-cancer-vaccine1102   (817 words)

BBC NEWS Health Cervical cancer vaccine success The vaccine works by triggering the body's immune system to attack the human papiloma virus (HPV), which has been linked to almost all cases of cervical cancer. The vaccine fights four of the most common strains of HPV, including a strain that causes genital warts. Early clinical trials of a vaccine for cervical cancer have shown that it is 100% effective. news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/health/2495029.stm   (528 words)

NBC10.com - HealthWatch - FDA Examines Cancer Vaccine From Merck The second concern is that any advantage the vaccine provides in protecting against the four virus types could be offset by infection by any of the multiple other types of HPV that the vaccine does not cover, according to the FDA documents. The first is that the vaccine may lead to an increased number of cases of a cancer precursor among patients already infected by any of the four virus types at the time they receive the vaccine, and whose immune systems have not cleared the virus from their bodies. Merck said the vaccine has the potential to reduce the annual number of new cervical cancers worldwide to roughly 150,000, from the current 500,000, and cut global deaths from the cancer by more than two-thirds, to an estimated 90,000. www.nbc10.com /health/9232344/detail.html   (502 words)

Vaccine Against HPV-16, A Virus Linked To Cervical Cancer, Appears Effective HPV Vaccine Studied For First Time In Men (November 26, 2004) -- A vaccine designed to protect against the most common causes of genital warts and cervical and penile cancer is now being evaluated in young... The vaccine appears to prevent HPV from lingering in the genital tract where, in addition to causing a lesion, it can be transmitted to a sex partner. Since a vaccine that eliminates all HPV types that are linked with cervical cancer is many years from clinical use, Koutsky strongly encourages women to continue to undergo routine Pap smear screening. www.sciencedaily.com /releases/2002/11/021122075011.htm   (1019 words)

Medical Library Search Currently, there is no cure for HPV, although a vaccine is being developed. Routine HPV testing is not recommended in women younger than 30 years of age because HPV is very common in this age group and cervical cancer is rare. More than 30 types of HPV can infect the genital areas of a woman or a man. Like many sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), there often are no signs of genital HPV. www.medem.com /search/article_display.cfm?path=n:&mstr=/ZZZHHKJK97C.html&soc=ACOG&srch_typ=NAV_SERCH   (465 words)

Polio vaccine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Specific vaccines: Anthrax - BCG - Cancer - DPT - Flu - HIV - HPV - MMR - Pneumonia - Polio - Smallpox Vaccine critics assert that the few studies on the cancer causing effects of SV40 are scientifically flawed, and that health officials have downplayed the potential risks since finding, in 1961, that the contaminant caused tumors in rodents. Though Salk's vaccine had reduced the incidence of polio to a tiny fraction of what it was in the early 1950s, Sabin's vaccine was considered superior for these reasons and became the standard treatment. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Polio_vaccine   (817 words)

Cervical Cancer Vaccine Gets Injected With a Social Issue The vaccine appears to be virtually 100 percent effective against two of the most common cancer-causing HPV strains. Groups working to reduce the toll of the cancer are eagerly awaiting the vaccine and want it to become part of the standard roster of shots that children, especially girls, receive just before puberty. The vaccine would probably be targeted primarily at girls but could also be used on boys to limit the spread of the virus. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/30/AR2005103000747.html   (1167 words)

Cancer Vaccine Discovered The description clearly states that this vaccine is effective in preventing the ONSET of cervical cancer, not preventing or curing the cancer itself, although I'm not aware whether cervical cancer is a great concern if one has been vaccinated against the HPV virus. This vaccine has been found to prevent the onset of cervical cancer, the cancer responsible for roughly 85% of total annual cancer cases worldwide. The article refers to "Two cervical cancer vaccines are currently being developed" and discusses "Americans' attitudes toward a potential cervical cancer vaccine" and "Researchers do not yet know the booster requirements for cervical cancer vaccines." The article calls it a cancer vaccine. digg.com /science/Cancer_Vaccine_Discovered   (3042 words)

Vaccine Prevents Most Cervical Cancer - New York Times Vaccinating men might protect their sexual partners as well, including not just women but men who have sex with men, a group at risk for anal cancer caused by HPV. The vaccine, Gardasil, is made by Merck & Company, which plans to apply for approval to the Food and Drug Administration before the end of this year and, if the vaccine is approved, to market it in 2006. The vaccine works by making people immune to two types of a sexually transmitted virus that cause most cases of the disease. www.nytimes.com /2005/10/07/health/07vaccine.html?ex=1286337600&en=a485da6a0c140796&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss   (986 words)

New Scientist Will cancer vaccine get to all women? - News She feels that such attitudes may mean that HPV vaccination may be a non-starter in such communities. Vaccines are producing good results in clinical trials, and the first could be licensed as early as next year. This could be prevented by soon-to-be-approved vaccines against the virus that causes most cases of cervical cancer - but there are signs that opposition to the vaccines might lead to many preventable deaths. www.newscientist.com /channel/sex/mg18624954.500   (853 words)

CNN.com - Encouraging results for cervical cancer vaccine - Oct 6, 2005 One is genital warts, which is caused by HPV 6 and 11. That vaccine became available in the late '60s in the United States, and it was just last year that our colleagues at the CDC reported that there were no cases of congenital rubella in the United States. You could speculate that in a second generation of vaccines, you may be able to treat or prevent those with further advances in that. www.cnn.com /2005/HEALTH/conditions/10/06/cnna.cancer.ault   (823 words)

Australian-developed vaccine prevents cervical cancer. 07/10/2005. ABC News Online The vaccine works by blocking two strains of the sexually transmitted human papilloma virus (HPV), which causes up to 70 per cent of cervical cancers. The vaccine is one of two being trialed to prevent the disease, which causes more than 280,000 deaths each year worldwide. Merck, which licensed the vaccine technology from Australian blood products and vaccine developer CSL Ltd, plans to seek US approval for the cancer vaccine, which is called Gardasil. www.abc.net.au /news/newsitems/200510/s1476578.htm   (444 words)

Cervical Cancer Vaccine Raises ‘Promiscuity’ Controversy* - The NewStandard Clinical trials for vaccines against the human papilloma virus (HPV), strains of which cause cervical cancer and genital warts in women, show that the medication is nearly 100 percent effective, according to recent company reports and studies published in two leading journals, Nature and the Journal of the American Medical Association. Leading medical organizations are recommending that all girls be vaccinated just before puberty, while a number of religious and other socially conservative groups are concerned the cervical cancer vaccine may increase sexual activity among youth. Most public health experts recommend that the vaccine be given to girls at or prior to puberty to reduce the risk of transmission. newstandardnews.net /content?action=show_item&itemid=2552   (592 words)

Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Programs, Appendix CDC EID In truth, the effect of a vaccine on HPV infection rates for vaccinated women depends on both the vaccine efficacy and the overall impact of the vaccination program at reducing population prevalence of HPV in both men and women. We developed disease-transmission models for HPV-16 and HVP-18, the HPV types associated with most cervical cancer cases and the most likely to be included in HPV vaccines. To capture the effect of a male vaccination program on female human papillomavirus (HPV) infection rates and cervical cancer incidence, we needed to directly model the effect of vaccination on HPV disease-transmission dynamics. www.cdc.gov /ncidod/eid/vol10no11/04-0222_app.htm   (1565 words)

eMJA: Human papillomavirus: a cause of some head and neck cancers? The demonstrated efficacy of an HPV 16 vaccine in preventing persistent infection in the female genital tract15 has raised expectations that such vaccines may eventually reduce the incidence of head and neck cancer. However, the potential of vaccine programs designed for the genital tract to reduce the incidence of HPV infection in the head and neck is still to be evaluated. Screening of head and neck cancers for HPV 16 and/or raised p16 as a marker of HPV-related transformation (Box) may identify a new group of patients (those with HPV-negative tumours) who would benefit from closer-than-usual follow-up or additional therapy. www.mja.com.au /public/issues/181_08_181004/ros10548_fm.html   (1776 words)

National Organization for Women A new vaccine that protects women against cancer-causing strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV) is at the center of yet another controversy at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Vaccine opponents claim that making it a regular part of childrens' vaccine protocol would encourage young women to be more sexually active. Despite strong evidence that John Roberts is an opponent of women's rights, far too many senators are sitting on the fence about this nomination, and they must clearly hear that women want them to reject this nominee. www.now.org   (1214 words)
