Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Gardasil™is a new vaccine used to prevent cervical cancer and genital warts caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6, 11, 16 and 18. The vaccine targets the HPV strains that are associated with 70% of cervical cancers (i.e. HPV 16 and 18) and with 90% of genital warts (i.e. HPV 6 and 11). While HPV 6 and 11 are not associated with cervical cancer, they can cause abnormal Pap smears.
