HPV Vaccination – Proactively Preventing Cervical Cancer in Women
Cervical cancer detected at an advanced stage can cause women to face excruciating pain during chemotherapy and radiation therapy, may require a hysterectomy, affect fertility, with estimated treatment costs reaching hundreds of millions of VND, and even threaten life. The 5-year survival rate for patients with advanced cervical cancer is only 17%.
The main agent causing cervical cancer is the HPV virus, with up to 99% of cervical cancer cases related to the HPV virus, particularly prevalent in certain strains of the virus. As one of the serious conditions, cervical cancer can be optimally prevented by up to 90% through vaccination against the HPV virus. According to expert recommendations, girls from 9 years old and women under 27 should receive the vaccine to prevent cervical cancer, vulvar, vaginal lesions, precancerous lesions and dysplasia, genital warts, and diseases caused by HPV infection. Especially, girls in the “golden age” of 9 – 14 years will create a higher and more sustainable immune response, helping to increase the prevention of diseases caused by the HPV virus.
Currently, the Vaccination Center at Hai Phong International Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital offers 2 types of HPV vaccines:
– Gardasil/USA
– Gardasil 9/USA
The new generation vaccine Gardasil 9 is considered a gender-equitable vaccine as it expands both the target population and the scope of disease prevention for both males and females, protecting against 9 common HPV virus types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 that cause cervical cancer, vulvar cancer, vaginal cancer, anal cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, genital warts, precancerous lesions or dysplasia, etc., with a protective efficacy of over 94%. Notably, the Gardasil 9 vaccine at Hai Phong International Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital is currently offered at the best promotional price.
