@cytopathology To prepare for tomorrow's discussion on HPV genotypes and how they relate to neoplasia, vaccination, and ethnicity; here are some questions on HPV to consider: How many HPV vaccines are currently available?

It's True! HPV causes 99% of cervical cancers. Specifically, HPV 16/18 which makes up for 70% of cervical cancers 🤯

@cytopathology To prepare for tomorrow's discussion on HPV genotypes and how they relate to neoplasia, vaccination, and ethnicity; here are some questions on HPV to consider: True or False: HPV is the leading cause of cervical cancer amongst women?

@cytopathology The correct answer is 200 HPV strains! Of those strains, 14 of them are "high risk". This means that there are 14 strains that have cancer causing potential if infected.

@cytopathology To prepare for tomorrow's discussion on HPV genotypes and how they relate to neoplasia, vaccination, and ethnicity; here are some questions on HPV to consider: How many strains of HPV do we know exist?

@cytopathology To prepare for tomorrow's discussion on HPV genotypes and how they relate to neoplasia, vaccination, and ethnicity; here are some questions on HPV to consider: Roughly what percentage of the US adolescent population is up to date with their HPV vaccine?

@HeymannJonas @cytopathology Yes! Thank you, Dr. Heymann. While originally there was the bivalent and 4-valent vaccine, the 9-valent is the most recent and effective HPV vaccine currently available

@fasking518 @cytopathology The 9-valent vaccine is the only one available in 🇺🇸 (and the one with which my kids are vaccinated). The 4-valent is still available in other countries. #JASCChat #ASCeJournalChat
