2. Cumulative incidence of HPV infection from time of first sexual intercourse
4. The virus is transmitted through skin to skin contact.
It enters the basal keratinocyte through tiny breaches in the epithelium where the virus replicates using cellular DNA replication machinery within these basal layer cells.
Expression of the E6 and E7 viral protein delays the normal differentiation which is seen as the epithelial cell moves from the basement layer and matures.
The structural proteins L1 and L2 are assembled in the cell nucleus and form mature viral particles which are then released from the epithelium within the superficial epithelial cell layers.The virus is transmitted through skin to skin contact.

7. Prophylactic Vaccination
8. Cervarix (HPV 16-18) VaccineMean Titres & Seropositivity Rates According to HPV Type & Group
9. Rationale for Vaccination Programme To prevent type specific infection, thus ultimately preventing type specific associated CIN3
Prevention of infection by 2 types could prevent most cancers
Primary prevention of cervical cancer by vaccination could be more cost effective than secondary prevention
Vaccination offers a primary prevention strategy for countries without effective screening programmes
10. Definitions used in randomised trials of HPV vaccines Per Protocol
Cervix HPV ve/Sero ve/16/18 lesions
Unrestricted Susceptible
Cervix HPV ve/Sero ve/ all 3 doses/16/18 lesions
Intention to Treat
All randomised subjects (real world)?
All lesions
11. Quadrivalent vaccine against human papillomavirus to prevent high grade cervical lesions.
The FUTURE II study Group
NEJM (2007) 356: 1915-27
12. Quadrivalent HPV Vaccine to prevent Cervical Lesions(15-26yrs)?
13. Quadrivalent HPV Vaccine to prevent Cervical Lesions(16/18)
14. Quadrivalent Vaccine Efficacy to Prevent Cervical Lesions (16/18)? Vaccine Efficacy(%)?
Per Protocol 98
Unrestricted susceptible 95
ITT Population 44
ITT (Any Type) 17
15. Prevalence rates for four of the commonest five types and HPV 45 by cytological grade
16. Impact of Quadrivalent Vaccine on Vulval Condylomata
17. Impact of quadrivalent vaccine (6, 11, 16 & 18) on VAIN and VIN
18. Efficacy of a prophylactic adjuvanted bivalent L1 virus like particle vaccine against infection with HPV16 and 18 in young women:
19. CIN2+ lesions with HPV16 or HPV18 DNA
20. Efficacy of Cervarix in Women initially seropositive or seronegative for HPV 16/18 in a Phase II Trial
21. Cervarix (HPV 16/18) VaccineVaccine Efficacy Against Incident Infection with HPV 45, HPV 31, HPV 52, HPV 33 and HPV 58 in Cervical Samples from Intention-to-Treat Analyses
22. Key Issues (1)Who to Vaccinate Females aged 11-13
Sexually naive; good immunogenicity
Catch up of older adolescents
Will be less cost effective
Women up to 25 years
Would be less protective
Should boys be vaccinated?
Will the vaccine be protective?
Herd immunity but male HPV-related cancer is rare
23. Key Issues (2)Vaccine Specific Duration of protection
Follow-up of current/previous studies
Cross protection
Other oncotypes
Cost effectiveness
24. Key Issues (3)Implementation Education
Key messages for children and parents
Co-existence with cervical screening
Scope for de-intensifying screening
How to reach women in underdeveloped countries
Expense/cold chain/acceptability
25. Chronology of Vaccination & Changes to Screening
26. Impact of the Vaccines 50-60% of CIN2/3 will be prevented and perhaps only 20% of low grade cytological abnormalities
The majority of VAIN and VIN may be prevented
Prevention of genital warts (Gardasil)?
Less lower genital tract disease will result in less treatment associated morbidity
There should be an impact on other HPV associated cancer e.g. head and neck
27. Impact of the Vaccines Prevention of 70% cervical cancers
450,000 cases per year, worldwide
Infertility
Suffering
250,000 deaths per year worldwide
Uptake of vaccine in developing world will save many thousands of lives
28. The incidence of this disease might, in great measure, be prevented by inoculation.
From ignorance and prejudices the parents . instead of inoculating their children, crowd into houses . when the disease is at its most contagious.
Every argument is in support of inoculation, however conclusive, makes no impression upon their minds.
