Global View of HPV Associated Cancer Elimination

The online international conference was held on January 31, 2024. The conference discussed the measures required in Israel and other countries to combat malignant tumors caused by the human papillomavirus, following the initiative of the World Health Organization which calls for increased vaccination against the virus, screening, and targeted treatment. Currently, the virus causes about 600,000 cases of cervical cancer worldwide, as well as oral and throat cancer, particularly affecting men.

The online conference also served as a tool to express support for the Israeli medical community during this difficult time. Approximately 250 doctors, both from Israel and the international community, participated in the conference.

The Israeli scientific societies participating in this event include: Israel Society for the Study and Prevention of STI (ISSSTI)
Israel Society of Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ISCCP)
Israel Society of Gynecological Oncologists (ISGP)
The Israeli National Academy of Medical Sciences
The Israeli Medical Association (IMA)
