Abstract: Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, yet it continues to place a heavy and unnecessary burden on women in Poland. Poland now stands at a pivotal moment in the fight against HPV-related cancers. Despite one of the highest cervical cancer burdens in the EU, new momentum such as gender-neutral HPV vaccination and stronger national cancer strategies to improved health data systems, create a unique opportunity for change.
This report (white paper) sets out a clear, evidence-based roadmap to move from fragmented pilots to coordinated national action, accelerating progress toward the elimination of cervical cancer and the reduction of all HPV-driven cancers across the life course.
Keywords: women’s cancers; cervical cancer; gynecological cancer; prevention; HPV vaccination; screening; cancer; Poland; Polen
