HPV vaccination in males

11 June 2014

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.
