Cervarix®, Cervical Cancer Vaccine of Long Effectivity

Filed in archive Studies , Treatment by Gloria Gamat on April 12, 2006

Cervical cancer is the second most malignant cancer in women caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) that is spread through sexual contact.

GlaxoSmithKline's Cervarix® is an experimental vaccine against cervical cancer. A study conducted by a research team from Dartmouth Medical School, USA claims that Cervarix® can protect women against cervical cancer for at least four and a half years and may also provide protection form other viruses that cause cancer.

The report on this study headed by Dr. Diane Harper can be read at the April 6 issue of The Lancet.
