HPV Screening and Vaccination Strategies in an Unscreened Population: A Mathematical Modeling Study.
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology 2018 April 13
Human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection, is the necessary cause of cervical cancer, the third most common cancer affecting women worldwide. Prevention and control strategies include vaccination, screening, and treatment. While HPV prevention and control efforts are important worldwide, they are especially important in low-income areas with a high infection rate or high rate of cervical cancer. This study uses mathematical modeling to explore various vaccination and treatment strategies to control for HPV and cervical cancer while using Nepal as a case study. Two sets of deterministic models were created with the goal of understanding the impact of various prevention and control strategies. The first set of models examines the relative importance of screening and vaccination in an unscreened population, while the second set examines various screening scenarios. Partial rank correlation coefficients confirm the importance of screening and treatment in the reduction of HPV infections and cancer cases even when vaccination uptake is high. Results also indicate that less expensive screening technologies can achieve the same overall goal as more expensive screening technologies.
