This comparative modeling study uses three independent CISNET models to estimate how cervical cancer elimination timelines vary across U.S. subpopulations with different levels of HPV vaccination and screening uptake. Results show substantial disparities: high-uptake groups could achieve elimination more than two decades earlier, while low-uptake groups may lag by nearly three decades. National averages obscure these differences, underscoring the need for targeted interventions and subgroup monitoring to ensure equitable progress toward elimination
