New investigation of the hpv vaccine for boys

"New investigation into the hpv vaccine for boys"

"Svalgcancer continues to increase significantly among men"

"Svalgcancer increasing significantly – in particular among men."

"For a year and a half ago took Folkhälsomyndigheten provide a basis for the government to start vaccinating boys."

"even back then, we noted that svalgcancer is sharply increasing," says doctor Adam Roth."

"He is a physician and head of Unit for the vaccination programme on the Folkhälsomyndigheten, and took forward the dossier to the ministry of health that the boys would be included in the vaccination programme against hpv, the human papilloma virus."

"– Svalgcancer is the hpv-related form of cancer which is increasing at the fastest rate. It has also, of course, with the sexual behavior to do. It takes many years from infection to cancer, so the change perhaps took place 20-30 years ago, " he says."

"by far The largest hpv-caused cancer is cervical cancer."

"– But in our investigation we looked at other hpv-caused cancer. Overall, it is about, in addition to cervical cancer, genitalcancer both in men and women, analcancer for both men and women and svalgcancer in both men and women. These cancers are of both sexes."

" Women who get cervical cancer are often in the 40-45-year-olds. You are looking at svalgcancer so is the highest frequency among those between 60 to 70 years. It comes to genital - and analcancer also. It is a completely different profile, " says Adam Roth."

"the Big difference between the sexes"

"It is also a big difference between the sexes when it comes to svalgcancer, more than twice as many men as women are affected."

"– Svalgcancer is absolutely dominant among men. In total, we had 320 cases of hpv-caused cancers among men. 200 cases were svalgcancer, 40 cases analcancer and 80 cases of genitalcancer."

"– For women, it was about 86 cases of svalgcancer, 95 cases of analcancer and 60 cases of genital cancer."

"they are a little too old for free vaccination to go and get vaccinated now for several thousand dollars?"

"– For the individual, it may always be worthwhile to get vaccinated. But hpv is a underlivsförkylning, it is something that all sexually active get. At the programme level, it is absolutely so that you'll give it before sexual debut for it to have effect, " says Adam Roth."

"There is now a new vaccine with more hpv types, which begins to be given in the vaccination programme for girls in the fall."

"– They who, above all, causes cancer is hpv type 16 and 18, they are contained in the vaccine used in the programme of the day. But in the new vaccine is the five additional hpv types. They provide protection against the seven types of hpv that cause cancer."

"But still delayed a decision on the vaccine to boys. The government gave in last Friday Folkhälsomyndigheten in the mission to investigate what this new vaccine mean for the boys."

"– the Assignment should be completed by the first of april, " says Adam Roth."

"Rasmus Jonlund, spokesperson for health and sjukvårdsregionrådet Anna Starbrink (L), is critical to a decision about the hpv vaccine delay:"

"– It is bad, for the boys and men who do not receive vaccine for a potentially lethal disease, and for girls who are also at risk of contracting hpv. Men who have sex with men in the day not at all part of the protection. It is an unequal care, " he writes in an email to Aftonbladet."

"the Hpv, human papilloma virus, is a very common virus that is found in over a hundred different types. Some types can provide skin lesions which in rare cases can lead to cancer of the cervix, the genitals and in the throat. Other hpv types can cause warts, usually on the hands and feet. In addition, there are a few types that can cause warts in the genital area, called condyloma acuminata.nKälla: 1177.see"
