Cervical cancer elimination is a global health priority with the ambitious 90:70:90 target set by the WHO. This initiative aims for 90% of girls to be vaccinated against HPV, 70% of women to be screened with a high-performance test, and 90% of those who test positive to receive appropriate treatment by 2030. This editorial reflects on the journey from the initial declaration in 2018 to the present, highlighting the progress, challenges, and future directions in the fight against cervical cancer. With significant contributions from organizations like FIGO and FOGSI, the introduction of cost-effective vaccines and advanced screening methods, we are on a path towards achieving our targets. However, persistent efforts and global collaboration are essential to overcome the remaining hurdles.
消除宫颈癌是一项全球卫生重点工作,世界卫生组织设定了宏伟的90:70:90目标。该倡议旨在到2030年使90%的女孩接种人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)疫苗,70%的妇女接受高效检测筛查,以及90%检测呈阳性者获得适当治疗。这篇社论回顾了从2018年最初宣布至今的历程,突出了抗击宫颈癌过程中的进展、挑战和未来方向。在国际妇产科联盟(FIGO)和印度妇产科医师协会(FOGSI)等组织的大力贡献下,随着具有成本效益的疫苗和先进筛查方法的引入,我们正朝着实现目标的道路迈进。然而,持续努力和全球合作对于克服剩余障碍至关重要。
