Review paper competition · First edition

Cervical cancer: obstacles, ethics and new research.

Ten papers from high school students across CARE chapters. The first-place paper is published in full below.

The prompt

Cervical cancer remains a major public health problem in the world despite the increase in prevention and management methods. The introduction of HPV vaccination and improvement of screening methods have reduced its incidence in many regions, though accessibility and awareness remain problems in most underprivileged areas. Discuss the current obstacles to the eradication of cervical cancer, the ethical considerations in the improvement of access to prevention and care, and new research directions that will contribute to the early detection, prevention, and treatment of cervical cancer.
