HPV vaccination in males
A letter from the Cancer Services Committee, which is Chaired by the BASO President, has been published in the BMJ
The Cancer Services Committee, which was established by the RCS
and is Chaired by the BASO President Riccardo A. Audisio, has
submitted a letter to the British Medical Journal arguing that boys
in the UK should be offered vaccination against human
papillomavirus (HPV). Oropharyngeal cancer driven by
HPV has the fastest rising incidence of any cancer, yet no boys in
the United Kingdom are currently offered vaccination.
