The elimination of cervical cancer in Danmark

In 2020, WHO introduced an ambitious goal to eliminate cervical cancer by reaching and maintaining an incidence rate of below 4 per 100,000 women years, building on three key pillars: Vaccination, screening for and treatment of precancerous lesions with corresponding targets defined. This review describes the Danish status of targets where a continued high adherence to HPV vaccination and more women between the ages of 30-59 being screened is crucial. The authorities should prioritise monitoring the pillars important for the elimination and intervene in case Denmark is not on target.
