What is the Role of Vaccines in Preventing Virus-Related Cancers?
Vaccines are a powerful tool in preventing cancers caused by viruses. The HPV vaccine is highly effective in preventing cervical cancer, as well as other HPV-related cancers such as anal and oropharyngeal cancers. The hepatitis B vaccine has been instrumental in reducing the incidence of liver cancer globally. These vaccines work by inducing an immune response that helps the body to recognize and fight the virus before it can cause cancer.
