My essay will attempt to answer how cervical cancer diagnoses can be treated, reduced,
and even prevented. Cervical cancer has been a leading cancer in women for many years, and it
has recently been decreasing, however there are many other ways to make more progress
towards almost eliminating cervical cancer due to the human papillomavirus. I want to research
how cervical cancer can be prevented and the steps women can make to do so.

Daniel Keppler’s book, Cervical Cancer: Methods and Protocols, was published in January
of 2015 by Humana. The book includes cutting-edge methods and protocols for researching
high-risk HPV and the cancers, specifically cervical cancer, that is associated with it. First, he
describes the many strains of HPV, how the develop into cervical cancer, prevention, and
potential drug targets. He then explores the pathology and genomics of cervical cancer,
Daniel wrote this book to serve as a valuable resource for scientists, clinicians, and
anyone who wants to step into the realm of high-risk HPVs and its associated cervical cancer, as
well as CxCA. His writing will help educate those interested in expanding their knowledge
regarding HPV, how it leads to cervical cancer, and the steps necessary that can prevent the

his Ph.D. in Biochemistry, obtained from Paris University in France. He has participated in many
research projects regarding biochemistry and disease, received numerous honors for his
research, as well as published many books and articles regarding those topics as well.
The book will provide me with ample information to include in my paper to discuss the
high-risk strains of HPV and give an explanation of how they develop into cervical cancer. This
can help me create a more scientific approach to my paper as well, which helps with the
background of the virus and how dangerous it can be. Scientific evidence is always a principal

Cervical Cancer: The VIP-I Study”, appeared in an Elsevier book (Vaccine) and on the website on
July 5th of 2018. Women in Australia had substantially higher rates of cervical cancer than
nonindigenous women. After implementing the national HPV vaccination program 7 years prior,
researchers conducted a study investigating HPV infection rates among indigenous women.
Results found that rates of those found to have any type of HPV fell from 58.1% to 36.2%. The
study concluded that Australia’s implementation of the HPV vaccination program, which is for
vaccination of children ages 12 and 13, has been successful in reducing the HPV related cervical
cancer diagnoses. Australia could be the first country to completely eradicate cervical cancer
The purpose of this article was to provide factual evidence through research that
implementation of the HPV vaccine can and will reduce diagnoses of HPV-related cervical
cancers. The article proves through study that the HPV vaccine does in fact prevent the high-
risk strands of HPV that lead to cervical cancer. The article targets readers who want proof that

Matthew Nojiri’s article, “HPV Vaccine, Approved for Children, Can Prevent the Virus
from Turning into Cancer” appeared on Pennsylvania’s Reading Eagle Magazine on November
6th, 2018. Human Papillomavirus causes 33,700 cancers in men and women annually in the
United States, and the Gardasil vaccine can reduce that number greatly. Over 14 million people
have exposure to the virus. Previously, the vaccine had been approved for ages up to 26,
however in October of 2018 it was expanded to approve people from ages 27 to 45 as well.
High risk strands of HPV can be prevented with vaccination, which can reduce the number of
Matthew’s purpose in writing the article is to educate readers on the relevance and risks
of HPV and to also encourage readers to consider receiving the vaccine. The audience is geared
primarily towards readers who have younger children, to persuade them in recognizing how
important the HPV vaccine is to preventing cancer-causing strains of the virus. The audience is
also geared towards those aged 27 to 45, as the vaccine has now been approved for that age
range as well.

This article is found on a page on the National Cervical Cancer Coalition. Over 13,000
women are diagnosed with cervical cancer in the United States, however, cervical cancer is one
of the most preventable cancers today. It was discovered that Human Papillomavirus is the
leading cause of cervical cancer, which is detectable by a Pap Test. Pap screening is
recommended to start at age 21, and then at age 30, Pap and HPV tests are recommended
alone and together. If women at the age of 65 have had prior adequate screening, they can
stop screening at the discretion of their health care provider. A Pap Test finds changes in the

The article is meant to educate women reading on how and when to start/stop
screenings, how to prepare for the screenings, as well as educate them on how the tests are
done. The article also lists the steps taken if Pap results are abnormal. The primary audience is

Beth’s objective to writing the report is to inform readers of the lack of knowledge that

holds society back from receiving the HPV vaccine. Beth targets health care providers and
administrators of the HPV vaccine of not educating their patients on the importance,
effectiveness, and safety of a vaccine that prevents cervical cancer and some cancers in men.

I plan to use this information and her research by incorporating it into my research
project as a means to create awareness of the lack of knowledge and education society has
today on HPV and the vaccine. This could provide evidence that we need more means of
education on this topic as well as encourage readers to become educated if they are not.
