Description
Summary:Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is able to reduce the risk of relapse in women undergoing surgery for HPVrelated lesions. The surgical treatment of these lesions can correlate with a greater risk of preterm parts. The extension of the recommendation of HPV vaccination to patients treated for a previous HPV-related lesion would entail a lower expense for the Health System. Therefore, an increase in the use of HPV vaccination is desirable also in this target population as well as the implementation of a care pathway dedicated to women treated for HPV lesions that includes vaccination in the prevention activities of relapses.
