In the previous videos of our kNOw CANCER series, Dr. Annapurna and Dr. Rekha discussed that the causative agent (carcinogen) for Cervical Cancers is a virus called Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). The good news is that there is a highly effective vaccine that when administered to girls between 9-15 years of age, can completely eliminate the risk of developing this cancer.
