HPV testing and cervical cancer prevention

Cervical cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers affecting women
worldwide. Importantly, it is the only type of cancer that can be effectively
prevented, and it is the target of a WHO initiative aimed at eliminating it as
a public health concern by 2030. These unique characteristics place it at the
forefront of microbiology discussions, making it the ideal candidate for the
inaugural CoScience Chapter.
