The fight against #cervicalcancer is at risk because of Covid-19. We face challenges to screening & the #HPV vaccine, but there are some solutions. We need to act now.

Great initiative!

'Game changing' home smear tests to be launched in London with @CancerPrev_KCL @PHE_uk
#YouScreen

The study targets those aged 25-64 who are at least six months overdue cervical screening.

Very exciting to see this #HPV self-collection home-testing kits trial being rolled out across London. Let's hope the data is as good as we hope; it could be a significant step against #cervicalcancer

My thoughts on self-collection: https://t.co/Sy6Woecp9U

[Prof A Singer @profasinger]

@JoTrust @CancerNel Great news. A really exciting trial and such an important step for equity for those reluctant or unable to get to a GP or clinic.
Well done @JoTrust for all your work on this and support and information to those who need it. #HPV #cervicalcancer

[Prof A Singer @profasinger]

Very exciting about the self-collection trial for #HPV being rolled out to 31,000 women in London. Early detection of #cervicalcancer is key: 95% of early precancerous changes are curable. Such an important trial.

Nearly 1 in 3 women who didn't attend their #CervicalScreening last year in the UK didn't go due to covid concerns. @eveappeal is there to help anyone worried about their cervical screening test during this #CervicalCancerPreventionWeek and always: [email protected].

[Prof A Singer @profasinger]

Great to see such things. Look how far we have come that a building in London shows support for the fight against #CervicalCancer. We have come so far. There's a lot further to go but elimination *is now possible*. We have the strategy. Let's do it. @DHSCgovuk @gavi @WHO @JoTrust

[Prof A Singer @profasinger]

Inspired by the voices in the @WHO launch advocating for education to help eliminate #CervicalCancer. There is a vaccine to prevent HPV. Education - of men as well as women and girls - is vital. "The fate and future of all is bright when the fate and future of women is bright".

[Prof A Singer @profasinger]

The WHO's launch of the Global Strategy to Accelerate the Elimination of Cervical Cancer is being livestreamed now. Encouraged to watch it.

[Prof A Singer @profasinger]

Robust and inclusive screening programmes, combined with resilient supplies and ways of delivering the HPV vaccine, can eliminate cervical cancer. GAVI, governments, and the pharmaceutical industry must not forget the importance of HPV vaccination.

[GIAHC @GIAHC]

And it doesn’t have to be this way! We have the tools to eliminate cervical cancer through vaccination and screening. 🙌🏼

What’s the difference between an #HPV test, a Pap test, and an HPV/Pap cotest? Our Q&A on #CervicalCancer screening guidelines explains: https://t.co/c5hzHTt4j6

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

If everyone who is grateful for NHS staff right now followed and retweeted, we would reach a million by midnight.

It will take just two seconds to do, and you can help us share important information that could help save lives.

[Prof A Singer @profasinger]

@LizSpecht There is one critical false assumption here. Rates won’t keep doubling as people start to stay home and government locks down public gatherings. We’ve already seen this in China and Italy. This post is simple scaremongering

[Prof A Singer @profasinger]

The drop in #HPV vaccination rates around the world is disturbing and tragic, and we must figure out a way to better counter the misinformation and falsehoods being spread every day. Thank you for being in this fight with us @drg1985

[Prof A Singer @profasinger]

This new test which is still 3-5 yrs away should help encourage more women who might be anxious about having a smear to be tested. It's only a screening test though so women with +ve tests will still need further examinations and possibly treatment. Overall a great step forward.

[Prof A Singer @profasinger]

Thanks Radio 5 for talking about these important issues

[BBC Radio 5 Live @bbc5live]

🗣Don’t squirm. Don’t blush. It’s important to learn and talk about these things!
