Untangling the Statistics
There are more than 100 types of Human Papillomavirus (HPV). 40 of these types can be sexually transmitted - usually through genital contact. Most cases of the infections are harmless and go away without treatment. Often, women experience no signs, symptoms, or health problems while their body's own defense system eliminates the virus. This is most likely true for men, as well.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) published a chart ( https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/hpv/statistics/cervical.htm ) which shows that HPV presence is detected in 7.5 out of every 100,000 cervical cancer cases (average of all races). The CDC states here that those 7.5 cases would most likely not exist if the women had undergone regular Pap screening.
7.5 of every 100,000 cases of cervical cancer showed the virus - HPV - present. Conversely, 99992.5 cervical cancer cases
showed no virus present. Were those 7.5 cases really caused by HPV?
The American Cancer Society agrees that regular Pap screening would eliminate most cervical cancer. It goes on to distinguish between pre-cancer, cancer, and invasive cancer. ( https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cervical-cancer/about/key-statistics.html ) About 12,820 cases of invasive cancer will be diagnosed in the USA in 2017 and, out of this number, 4,210 women will die from it.
The 2010 US census population was 308,000,000. The female population was 157,000,000. I'll use their 2010 statistics:( https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cervical-cancer/about/key-statistics.html ) Out of 12,200 cases of invasive cancer diagnosed, 4210 - 34.5% - ended in death. Of the total female population, .00268% died of cervical cancer. To put it another way, 156,995,790 did not die from cervical related cancer and 156,987,800 women had no cervical cancer of any severity.
The FDA has approved the use of Gardisil vaccine to combat 4 of the over 100 HPV strains. HPV-6 and HPV-11 (which have been suspected of causing genital warts); and HPV-16 and HPV-18 (which are suspected to be "high risk" types). Cervarix vaccine has been approved to combat 16 and 18. As we read further into this article ( https://report.nih.gov/nihfactsheets/viewfactsheet.aspx?csid=76 ), we discover that other HPV types (that are not 6, 11, 16 and 18) are present in 30% of cancer cases. So, Gardisil and Cervarix will never prevent those 30% of HPV strains.
The Pap test is named after the doctor who determined a useful way to detect pre-cancerous cells in the cervix. Read about this hero ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgios_Papanikolaou ). Regular Pap testing drastically cut female cancer rates in the 1950's. When Gardisil was FDA approved in 2006 and Cervarix was approved in 2009, Dr. Papanikolau's protocol had all but erased cervical cancer.
I'll skip the poke and stick with the pap.
