Karen Knudsen: Vaccination against HPV is Cancer Prevention
Karen Knudsen, Executive Strategic Advisor and Immediate Past CEO of the American Cancer Society (ACS), reshared a post by Ray DuBois, Director of MUSC Hollings Cancer Center and Executive Chair of the Mark Foundation for Cancer Research, on LinkedIn:
“Vaccination against HPV is cancer prevention—** full stop**.
These data add to the body of real world evidence that ending HPV-driven cancers (including but not limited to cervical cancer) is well within our grasp!”
Quoting Ray DuBois‘s post:
“Big decline in mortality from Cervical Cancer in women younger than 25!”
