Opinion: A single-dose HPV vaccine would have a big impact on cancer prevention
As the father of three teenagers, as a son whose father lost his battle with cancer, and as a physician-scientist who specialized in cancer research for more than four decades, I was heartened by the recent and welcome news of continued declines in US cancer mortality rates, driven by continued reductions in tobacco use, increased early detection strategies, and the development of immune therapies.
Even sharper declines can be realized by implementing more aggressive and comprehensive proven cancer prevention and control strategies.
