Human PapillomavirusHuman Papillomavirus• Small DNA Virus
• 7 early and 2 late genes
• Oncogenic and non-oncogenic types
• Non-oncotypes include 6 and 11 – genital and respiratory papillomavirus
• Fifteen oncotypes found in 99% of cervical cancers
• Five oncotypes are associated with 80% of cancers • Two oncotypes 16/18 are associated with
70% of cancers

Prophylactic VaccinationProphylactic Vaccination
L1 Capsid proteins can self assemble into virus like particles (VPLs)
VPLs are highly immunogenic – up to 100 fold level of neutralising antibody associated with natural infection

Rationale for Vaccination Rationale for Vaccination ProgrammeProgramme
• To prevent type specific infection, thus ultimately preventing type specific associated CIN3
• Prevention of infection by 2 types could prevent most cancers
• Primary prevention of cervical cancer by vaccination could be more cost effective than secondary prevention
• Vaccination offers a primary prevention strategy for countries without effective screening programmes

Key Issues (1)Key Issues (1)Who to VaccinateWho to Vaccinate
• Females aged 11-13– Sexually naive; good immunogenicity
• Catch up of older adolescents– Will be less cost effective
• Women up to 25 years– Would be less protective
• Should boys be vaccinated? – Will the vaccine be protective?
– Herd immunity but male HPV-related cancer is rare
Key Issues (2)Key Issues (2)Vaccine SpecificVaccine Specific
• Duration of protection
– Follow-up of current/previous studies
• Cross protection
– Other oncotypes
• Cost effectiveness
Key Issues (3)Key Issues (3)ImplementationImplementation
• Education– Key messages for children and parents
• Co-existence with cervical screening– Scope for de-intensifying screening
• How to reach women in underdeveloped countries– Expense/cold chain/acceptability
Chronology of Vaccination & Chronology of Vaccination & Changes to ScreeningChanges to Screening
Impact of the VaccinesImpact of the Vaccines
• 50-60% of CIN2/3 will be prevented and perhaps only 20% of low grade cytological abnormalities
• The majority of VAIN and VIN may be prevented
• Prevention of genital warts (Gardasil)
• Less lower genital tract disease will result in less treatment associated morbidity
• There should be an impact on other HPV associated cancer e.g. head and neck
Impact of the VaccinesImpact of the Vaccines
• Prevention of 70% cervical cancers
• 450,000 cases per year, worldwide
– Infertility
– Suffering
• 250,000 deaths per year worldwide
• Uptake of vaccine in developing world will save many thousands of lives
“The incidence of this disease might, in great measure, be prevented by inoculation.”
“From ignorance and prejudices the parents …. instead of inoculating their children, crowd into houses …. when the disease is at its most contagious.”
“Every argument is in support of inoculation, however conclusive, makes no impression upon their minds.”
Small pox, 1791Thomas Pollock
