Trials show 100% effectiveness of vaccine against cervical cancer
The vaccine could help prevent HPV infections which account for 70% of deadly cervical cancers. For those of us who have not been exposed to HPV, it could mean that a vaccine could keep us safe. For countries where Pap smears are not routinely done, it may be a great preventer of this sexually transmitted, cancer-causing virus. It won't replace a need for Pap smears--there are other forms of cervical cancer not caused by the virus that this test will discover--but it will make it much less likely to have an abnormal test result.
Go, science!
