Je râlais hier sur les étudiant·es en médecin cis qui veulent absolument étudier le dépistage du cancer du col de l'utérus et les personnes transmasc, c'est d'autant plus énervant que le sujet a été étudié en long en large et en travers, et je suis tombé sur cette revue systématique sur les facteurs limitant et facilitant l'accès aux services de prévention du cancer chez les personnes trans. La revue est chouette même si elle dit rien de révolutionnaire, bonus un joli graphique pour illustrer.

(Note : je dis personnes trans psk la revue a essayé d'inclure les personnes intersexes mais n'a quasi pas pu le faire par manque de données)

From @dryukselurun on Dead🐦 4.5 hrs ago:

#CervicalCancer incidence is declining sharply among young women aged 15–29 in the United States.
This is what population-level HPV vaccination impact looks like.
⚠️The data is unambiguous, yet vaccine hesitancy persists, often immune to evidence itself. People didn't see the cancers that didn't happen.

🇮🇳 India has started the world’s biggest #HPV vaccination drive 💉 aiming to protect millions of teens each year from #CervicalCancer. The vaccines are free at public clinics ❤️. Since cervical cancer causes around 80,000 deaths a year in India, this step could make a huge difference 📚✨.

HPV vaccination is effective as also demonstrated by so many examples. Cervical cancer is a cancer that can be eliminated as a public health threat. HPV vaccination plays an important role in this elimination.

Africa: Scientists Develop Treatment That Could Prevent Cervical Cancer: [New Times] Scientists in Mexican have used a specialised treatment to eliminate Human Papillomavirus (HPV), the virus responsible for most cases of cervical cancer, in a group of patients during clinical research. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TRYm0V #CervicalCancer #HPV #CancerResearch #MedicalInnovation #WomenHealth

Cervical cancer can be eliminated as a public health problem. However, there is still inequity and programmes do not reach all groups and communities, especially those who are underserved and marginalised. Whose voices are missing in conversations on HPV vaccination and cervical cancer elimination and what would change if we centre these missing voices in cervical cancer prevention?

Today is International Women's Day! A day to celebrate all the achievements of women. It is also a day to remind us that despite these achievements, we still have not reached equality and equity.

#HenriettaLacks’s Family Settles Suit With #Novartis Over Use of Her Cells
Lacks’s family accused Novartis of profiting from her cells, which were taken from her without her consent in 1951, when she was dying of #cervicalcancer.
Lacks’s cells were first to reproduce in lab, outside the human body, and have been used in groundbreaking research, including to develop vaccines for polio and Covid-19 and treatments for cancer, Parkinson’s and the flu.
