Impact of HPV vaccination mandates on social inequalities - UC Riverside Impact of HPV vaccination mandates on social inequalities - UC Riverside Posted: 05 Oct 2020 12:00 AM PDT A postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Riverside, has discovered human papillomavirus, or HPV, vaccination mandates fall short of ensuring both higher levels of uptake and equal uptake of the vaccine across socioeconomic and racial-ethnic groups. The findings could help facilitate equal access to and compliance with uptake of COVID-19 vaccines, once they are available. "For the first time in history we have a safe and effective vaccine with the potential to eliminate cervical cancer — yet uptake remains well below national targets," said researcher Andrea Polonijo , a Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Social Medicine, Population, & Public Health at the  School of Medicine and the research paper 's sol...

HPV Vaccine Shown to Substantially Reduce Cervical Cancer Risk - Medscape HPV Vaccine Shown to Substantially Reduce Cervical Cancer Risk - Medscape Posted: 01 Oct 2020 12:00 AM PDT Quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination was associated with a substantial reduction in the incidence of cervical cancer in a Swedish review of more than 1 million girls and women vaccinated from 2006–2017. It's been shown that the vaccine (Gardasil) helps prevent genital warts and high-grade cervical lesions, but until now, data on the ability of the vaccine to prevent cervical cancer, although widely assumed, had been lacking. "Our results extend [the] knowledge base by showing that quadrivalent HPV vaccination is also associated with a substantially reduced risk of invasive cervical cancer, which is the ultimate intent of HPV vaccination program," said investigators led by Jiayao Lei, PhD, a researcher in the Department of Medic...

I’m a long-term cancer survivor. Like others, I also face a higher risk of getting a second, unrelated cancer. - The Washington Post I’m a long-term cancer survivor. Like others, I also face a higher risk of getting a second, unrelated cancer. - The Washington Post Posted: 31 Oct 2020 08:00 AM PDT The study is not just relevant for people who had testicular cancer. Anyone who has had cancer faces this possibility of a secondary malignancy, which is different from a recurrence of the original cancer, and can occur years or even decades after the original malignancy. Fortunately, over the past several decades, there has been a decrease in secondary cancers due to radiation and chemotherapy as new studies have shown that sometimes lower doses are enough. For survivors like me, secondary cancers are the ironic cancers — ones often born of the extra years our cures provided. There are a lot of us these days: the record 16.9 mill...

HPV Vaccine Lowers Risk of Cervical Cancer Up to 88% - Verywell Health HPV Vaccine Lowers Risk of Cervical Cancer Up to 88% - Verywell Health Posted: 10 Oct 2020 12:00 AM PDT Jose Luis Pelaez Inc / Getty Images Key Takeaways New research found a direct link between the HPV vaccine and a lowered risk of developing cervical cancer. This is the first population study proving the link. Vaccinating children before the age of 17 makes the greatest impact. Research shows that the quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is effective at preventing cervical lesions and genital warts in those who are vaccinated. But what isn't widely known is, on a population level, how much the HPV vaccine can impact the risk of developing invasive cervical cancer. A new study is changing that. The October study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine , found that women who are vaccinated against HPV have a much lower ...

SQZ Biotech, breaking convention, hits the NYSE with $71M IPO - FierceBiotech SQZ Biotech, breaking convention, hits the NYSE with $71M IPO - FierceBiotech Posted: 30 Oct 2020 07:25 AM PDT Armon Sharei (SQZ Biotech) When it's time to go public, most biotech companies for the Nasdaq. Not so for cell therapy-focused SQZ Biotech, which raised $71 million in its New York Stock Exchange debut. "We didn't feel bound by convention by how we thought about the exchanges," SQZ CEO Armon Sharei, Ph.D., said. "Generally, people go to Nasdaq, but we really tried to take a close look at both." Various factors went into the company's decision, Sharei said. The IPO comes about a year after the NYSE cut its listing fees , giving companies with little to no revenue—hello, develop-stage biotech—a 75% discount.
