Study Projects Cervical Cancer Elimination by 2048 in Rich Nations, Slower Progress in Poorer Countries

A study published in The Lancet indicates that high-income countries are on track to eliminate cervical cancer by 2048 through HPV vaccination and screening, while low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are expected to see only modest reductions. The World Health Organization's 90-70-90 targets aim for high vaccine coverage, screening, and treatment by 2030 to reduce incidence globally. Researchers warn that without increased investment, many LMICs may not meet these goals, widening regional disparities in cervical cancer rates.
