Abstract

Cervical cancer remains a significant source of disease and death in Europe. However, we now have the means to prevent
virtually every case of cervical cancer through comprehensive, population-based, organised cervical cancer prevention
programmes that effectively integrate cervical screening with the new technologies and vaccines that are now available.
Given the potential health benefits of these programmes in reducing disease incidence and mortality, their establishment
is now an ethical imperative for all European countries.
