HPV vaccination, screening disparities, and the shifting landscape of cervical cancer burden: a global analysis of trends, inequalities, and policy implications
Although the global cervical cancer burden has decreased, significant regional disparities remain. Future policies should focus on tailored interventions, with low-resource regions strengthening healthcare infrastructure and implementing minimum effective preventive measures, while high-SDI regions shift to precision public health approaches. Policymakers must also incorporate culturally sensitive health education to address social barriers, challenge misconceptions, and empower communities, ultimately reducing preventable cervical cancer morbidity.
