Summary

Cervical cancer is both treatable and preventable, and the WHO has called for countries to come together to to eliminate the disease in the next century.

However the disease still kills over 300,000 people each year, and levels of screening, treatment and vaccination need to be stepped up in order to achieve this goal.

In this Podcast Extra, two experts share their thoughts on how best to overcome these obstacles, and make elimination of cervical cancer a reality.
