  • Human papillomavirus infection and cervical cancer in immigrant and refugee women
    Cör, Andrej
    Cervical cancer is primary caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), and annually results in the deaths of 266,000 women worldwide. Cervical cancer prevention strategies have significantly ... decreased its incidence in Slovenia due to efficient screening program named ZORA; however, it continues to be an important health problem for immigrant and refugee women. Immigrant women from low- and medium income countries have a higher prevalence of HPV and consequently a higher risk of cervical pre-cancer and cancer than native women also due to barriers in access to screening programs and vaccination uptake. Data from other countries show as that refugee girls had significantly lower HPV immunization uptake compared with native born girls. There is an urgent need for health providers to understand sociocultural barriers for HPV screening programs and vaccination in order to provide comprehensive healthcare for all immigrant and refugee women.
