Vaccination significantly lowers the risk of genital warts and cervical cancer, which indicates the importance of this measure.

The connection between HPV and cervical cancer is of enormous importance, especially in view of the alarming rates of diseases. The Joint Initiative "Decided. Against Cancer" is actively committed to helping information and encourages the focus to put the HPV vaccination into focus. In order to further support these measures, several events are planned in the coming year, including a research focus on the Long Night of Research on April 24, 2026.

Overall, the Cancer School series shows how important it is to promote knowledge and information about cancer. The MedUni Vienna not only offers lectures and individual consultations, but also the opportunity to get into conversation directly on site with an expert: inside. The fight against cancer is a common concern that requires a strong community.
