At ACCF, we want to be part of a different world. And since 2007, we've been working hard to create it. We now know that nearly all cases of cervical cancer are caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Thanks to the work of Professor Ian Frazer (ACCF's Scientific Adviser) and his research collaborator, the late Dr Jian Zhou, we have access to a safe and effective HPV vaccine which provides protection against roughly 93% of cervical cancers. With the vaccine now freely available to Australian school-aged girls and boys, and with the introduction of the new and more effective Cervical Screening Test (formerly the Pap test), Australia is on track to effectively eliminate cervical cancer by 2035.
