ReviewPublication 2006Modelling the Impact of HPV Vaccines on Cervical Cancer and Screening Programmes
The impact of human papillomavirus (HPV)-16/18 vaccination on the incidence of infection and disease can …
The impact of human papillomavirus (HPV)-16/18 vaccination on the incidence of infection and disease can be explored in a range of different models. Here we explore the epidemiological and economic impact of vaccination where screening is absent and where it is well established. The importance for epidemiology of assumptions about naturally-acquired immunity and heterogeneity in risk behaviors are highlighted, as are the importance for health economic outcomes of vaccine costs and the ability to modify…

In the last two decades, computer-based models of cervical cancer screening have been used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of different secondary prevention policies. Analyses in countries with existing screening programs have focused on identifying the optimal screening interval, ages for starting and stopping screening, and consideration of enhancements to conventional cytology, such as human papillomavirus (HPV)-DNA testing as a triage for equivocal results or as a primary screening test for women over the age of…
