• “This could be particularly useful for cervical cancer screening in low- and middle-income countries, where resources are limited.”

• “For more than two decades, our team has been building evidence to show that HPV causes cervical cancer and that vaccination prevents infections, precancerous changes, and the disease itself. This is the first study to highlight the impact of HPV vaccination on cervical cancer mortality.”

• “A s vaccinated generations grow older, we'll see many more lives saved from cervical cancer. It is incredible to think that a single jab can almost eliminate a particular type of cancer, and this new research shows just how vital it is to keep HPV vaccination levels high so more people are protected.”

• “The findings show for the first time that it is possible to substantially reduce the number of people dying from cervical cancer in a population by introducing HPV vaccination.”

• “Our study showed that offering a self-sample kit in person was the most effective method of encouraging women to complete their cervical cancer screening tests: of 449 women opportunistically offered a kit in a GP appointment, 234 (52%) accepted and returned a sample.”

• “This is the first study to highlight the impact of HPV vaccination on cervical cancer mortality. It's amazing news that no women aged between 20-24 died from cervical cancer in the whole of England between 2020 and 2024.”

  Professor of cancer epidemiology at Queen Mary University of London · Cancer · 10 Sept 2026 · HPV vaccine has prevented 200 cervical cancer deaths in England so far ↗

• “We estimate that since its introduction, HPV vaccination has prevented nearly 200 young women from dying from cervical cancer in England.”
