HPV Vaccine: An Effective but Underutilized Prevention Tool.

ABSTRACT: HPV vaccines are among the most effective vaccines available, offering safe administration and high cost-effectiveness. The composition of the vaccines has been changed, involving enrichment with pathogenic strains and extending the possibility of prevention to other HPV-related cancers and diseases. The efficacy of the vaccine extends beyond primary prevention due to documented reductions in the relapse of cervical lesions. The objective of the present study was to evaluate whether there were differences in the frequency of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (H-SILs) and cervical carcinoma between vaccinated and unvaccinated women. This retrospective study included all incident cases of cervical cancer or H-SIL diagnosed between 1 January 2003 and 31 December 2020, in Catania, It
