Abstract

WHO Mission statement of Cervical cancer Elimination by 2030 has been a historic moment and has created an impactful global awareness regarding this deadly disease. The triple formula of 90-70-90 has been designed to have a 30% reduction in mortality from cervical cancer to be achieved by 2030. The goal of Cervical cancer elimination is to bring down the cases of cervical cancer below 4 per 100,000 woman. To achieve this goal the targets laid down is 90% coverage of girls fully vaccinated with HPV Vaccine by 15 years of age, 70% of women screened with an HPV test at 35 and 45 years of age and all managed properly, 90% of women identified with preinvasive disease receive adequate treatment and follow up. It is now an established fact that cervical cancer is caused by persistent infection with high-risk HPV strains. 4 out of 5 women in our country is affected with HPV, HPV being a sexually transmitted virus. Persistent high risk (HR) HPV is necessary for development of precursor lesions and cervical cancer. The major steps in cervical carcinogenesis include HPV infection, HPV persistence for a certain period of time, progression to precancer and invasion
