Optimizing Cervical Cancer Screening by Age at Vaccination for Human Papillomavirus: Health and Resource Implications

This study evaluates how cervical cancer screening strategies can be optimized based on the age at which individuals receive human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. Using modeling approaches, the authors assess the health benefits, screening efficiency, and resource implications of tailoring screening intervals and initiation ages. Findings suggest that adapting screening protocols to vaccination timing could improve health outcomes while reducing unnecessary procedures and healthcare costs.
