Vaccine

Preventive cancer vaccines can be very effective in lowering risk because viral infections are the root cause of many malignancies. Cervarix, Gardasil, and Hepatitis B vaccines have been created to guard against malignancies caused by HBV and HPV as well as to prevent HBV and HPV infection. Cervarix is a vaccine that has received approval to protect against HPV types 16 and 18, the two HPV strains most commonly associated with cervical cancer.

Gardasil is a vaccine that has been authorized for the prevention of genital warts brought on by HPV type 6 or 11 as well as the prevention of infection by HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58. The Hepatitis B vaccine is a preventive vaccine that guards against hepatitis B virus infection and can aid in preventing the growth of HBV-related liver cancer.
