In this Grand Round Yasmin will discuss the evolution of our understanding of HPV and cervical cancers through the lens of a paediatric and adolescent gynaecologist. With the planned transition to later onset of cervical screening at 25 years with HPV DNA testing, she launched The Early-Onset Cervical Cancer Study Group in 2007, examining pre-vaccination virology, and cancer morphology, shedding light on predicted impact of HPV vaccination in those under 25 years.
