Partha Basu: New IARC Study Highlights Decline in CIN 2+ Prevalence in Eastern India
Partha Basu, Head of Early Detection, Prevention and Infections Branch at IARC/WHO, shared a post on LinkedIn about a paper he co-authored with colleagues published in Cancer Epidemiology:
“Happy to share the latest IARC publication in Cancer Epidemiology that shows that the observed decline in CIN 2 + prevalence in Eastern India is attributed to improved education, delayed age at marriage, reduced fertility rate and women’s empowerment, which can explain the gradual reduction in cervical cancer incidence in India.
This trend will stabilise soon (or even reverse due to changing sexual practices). It is important for India to introduce HPV vaccine without any further delay and scale up screening to support global elimination of cervical cancer.”
