“…The IARC has coordinated cervical cancer case series, cervical cancer case-control studies, and population-based HPV prevalence surveys in a large number of countries around the world (Bosch et al, 1995; Muñoz et al, 2003; Franceschi et al, 2003; Clifford et al, 2005; Li et al, 2006; Bardin et al, 2008; Dondog et al, 2008; Keita et al, 2009; Sherpa et al, 2010; Alibegashvili et al, 2011; De Vuyst et al, 2012; Aruhuri et al, 2012; Sideri et al, 2009) and as yet unpublished studies from Fiji, Bhutan, and Senegal. The collection of samples has spanned a period of over 20 years, but predates the introduction of HPV vaccines.…”
