🩸 HPV, the virus causing most cervical cancers, can now be detected using menstrual blood collected on sanitary pads, according to a new study published in the BMJ.

🗓️ The study, involving over 3,000 women in Hubei, China (Sept 2021 - Jan 2025), found menstrual blood HPV tests performed similarly to doctor-collected samples in detecting high-grade cervical lesions.

👍 This non-invasive method is seen as a promising, convenient alternative to traditional Pap smears, with a 2022 pilot study showing 94% of participants preferred pad collection.

💉 Landmark research reveals children vaccinated against HPV at ages 12–13 have a near-zero risk of dying from cervical cancer before age 30. The vaccine, introduced in England in 2008, has already saved an estimated 200 lives.

🏥 Between 2020 and 2024, no deaths from cervical cancer were recorded in women aged 20-24, a stark contrast to the approximately 23 deaths that would have been expected without vaccination.

📈 Experts anticipate further reductions in cervical cancer deaths as more individuals receive the HPV jab and vaccinated generations age, with the UK aiming to eliminate cervical cancer by 2040.

📉 However, vaccination rates in England are below the 90% recommended by the WHO for cervical cancer elimination, with only 76% of girls vaccinated by age 15 in 2024-25.
