Je râlais hier sur les étudiant·es en médecin cis qui veulent absolument étudier le dépistage du cancer du col de l'utérus et les personnes transmasc, c'est d'autant plus énervant que le sujet a été étudié en long en large et en travers, et je suis tombé sur cette revue systématique sur les facteurs limitant et facilitant l'accès aux services de prévention du cancer chez les personnes trans. La revue est chouette même si elle dit rien de révolutionnaire, bonus un joli graphique pour illustrer.

(Note : je dis personnes trans psk la revue a essayé d'inclure les personnes intersexes mais n'a quasi pas pu le faire par manque de données)

🇮🇳 India has started the world’s biggest #HPV vaccination drive 💉 aiming to protect millions of teens each year from #CervicalCancer. The vaccines are free at public clinics ❤️. Since cervical cancer causes around 80,000 deaths a year in India, this step could make a huge difference 📚✨.

#HenriettaLacks’s Family Settles Suit With #Novartis Over Use of Her Cells
Lacks’s family accused Novartis of profiting from her cells, which were taken from her without her consent in 1951, when she was dying of #cervicalcancer.
Lacks’s cells were first to reproduce in lab, outside the human body, and have been used in groundbreaking research, including to develop vaccines for polio and Covid-19 and treatments for cancer, Parkinson’s and the flu.

“Five gender-specific conditions – #endometriosis, maternal health, premenstrual syndrome (#PMS), #menopause, and #cervicalcancer – account for 14% of the female disease burden but have received less than one percent of relevant research funding in recent years.”

Today is Blue Monday, the 3rd Monday in January. Regardless of its scientific basis (or lack thereof), it is an occasion to stress the importance of mental health and health in general.

Take care of yourself!

I'm incredibly proud to work at the KP Washington research institute, who did one of the studies cited here.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is highly effective. The vaccine protects against the high-risk HPV types 16 and 18, which cause most cervical cancers and have been shown to be safe and effective in preventing HPV infection and #CervicalCancer

🎉 Oh wow, imagine that: vaccines actually work! 🦠 Who knew preventing cervical cancer was as easy as getting a shot? Meanwhile, let's all give a sarcastic round of applause to #Denmark for successfully reducing HPV16/18 prevalence and making #anti-vaxxers look as credible as flat earthers. 🙄👏

#CervicalCancer is one of the most preventable & curable forms of cancer, if detected early. Women should be screened for cervical cancer every 5–10 yrs starting at the age of 30. Screening should be available to women in all countries, followed by immediate treatment where needed. bit.ly/47GIbzd

Australia is on course to eliminate cervical cancer by 2035, thanks to the HPV vaccination program, which launched there in 2007 for girls, and in 2013 for boys. In 2021, there were no cervical cancer cases diagnosed in women under 25. Here's more from the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners.
