Achieving these targets could reduce cervical cancer incidence to below 4 cases per 100\,000 women\, effectively transforming it into a rare disease. \nThe discussion emphasized that cervical cancer is almost entirely driven by persistent HPV infection\, making it uniquely preventable through vaccination and early detection. Evidence shows that HPV vaccines are highly effective\, with strong and sustained protection against high-risk HPV types responsible for most cases. \nDespite this\, the burden remains disproportionately high in low- and middle-income settings\, including Kenya\, where gaps in screening coverage\, diagnostic capacity and referral pathways continue to limit early detection and timely treatment. \nThe role of pathology services emerged as critical\, forming the diagnostic backbone for screening programs and treatment decisions. Expanding HPV DNA testing\, strengthening laboratory systems and investing in workforce development were identified as key priorities for achieving national targets. \nAcross the session\, a consistent message emerged: cervical cancer is preventable and eliminating it will depend on scaling what already works. \nKey Takeaways \n\nCervical cancer is one of the few cancers where elimination is achievable.\nThe WHO 90-70-90 targets provide a clear\, evidence-based roadmap.\nHPV vaccination and screening are high-impact prevention strategies.\nStrengthening pathology and diagnostic capacity is essential to progress.\nClosing gaps in access and coverage is critical to achieving equitable outcomes.
