Abstract
"HPV vaccination is not a substitute for cervical cancer screening. All women, including those who are vaccinated, should continue to have regular Pap test screening and also HPV test as the preventive effect of the vaccine on cervical cancer has not yet been demonstrated. HPV infection rarely leads to progression to cancer. Only a minority of infections persist for several years, and only about 10 per cent of low-grade lesions progress to a higher grade. About five per cent of high-grade lesions progress to invasive cancer (5)."
