\nThe HPV Vaccine &ndash\; Warts and all
\nThe Irish Cancer Society explains&hellip\;
\n
\nCervical cancer (and some other forms of cancer) are caused by the HPV virus.
\nIn 2016 more than 90 Irish women will die from cervical cancer and a further 280 will need intensive treatment\, such as surgery\, radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy\, to help them overcome invasive cervical cancer (4 in 10 of these women will succumb to their disease within 5 years).
\n
\nHPV also causes pre-cancerous cervical conditions and a further 6\,500 Irish women will need hospital treatment to remove these growths.
\n
\nHPV vaccination can prevent cervical and other cancers caused by this virus and is offered free of charge to all girls in their first year of secondary school. However\, parents have become concerned at possible health issues associated with this vaccination programme.
\n
\nAs part of the Irish Cancer Society&rsquo\;s &ldquo\;Decoding Cancer&rdquo\; series we have invited speakers to outline the significance of HPV as a cause of cancer and the facts about the safety of the vaccine being used in Irish schools.
