An average of 340,000 of women die from cervical cancer each year, with over 50% of new cases occurring in women who have never been screened or haven’t in the last five years. However, 93% of cervical cancers could be prevented through HPV vaccination.\u003c/paragraph-widget\u003e\u003cparagraph-widget padding=\"0 24 8 24\"\u003eYet, the survey found that around half of the participants had limited knowledge about the link between HPV and cervical cancer, with a further third having no knowledge of it whatsoever.\u003c/paragraph-widget\u003e\u003cparagraph-widget padding=\"0 24 8 24\"\u003eThe study also investigated reasons for a lack of HPV screenings, with concerns around the testing procedures – chief ly the pain and discomfort surrounding the \u003cspan\u003eprocedure and the setting in which it was carried out – being leading reasons.

This survey highlights some of the most important barriers to screening, as well as the opportunities we have to prevent disease and improve women's health… With many women reporting being open to new screening tools like self-collection, it has never been more important that communities, health systems, governments and innovators come together to seize this opportunity, and prov ide the early detection and treatment needed to avoid so many preventable deaths.\"\u003c/paragraph-widget\u003e\u003cparagraph-widget padding=\"0 24 8 24\"\u003eShe added, “This survey highlights both the challenges ahead and the significant opportunities we have to advance HPV prevention.
