“…In Spain, cervical cancer is the sixth most common malignancy, representing 4.8% of all cancers in women. However its incidence is one of the lowest worldwide (Predicted age standardized rate in 2012 of 11.6 cases per 100.000 women/year) [2] and the mortality rate of 2.7 per 100.000 women/year, similar to European average [3,4]. …”

BackgroundHPV vaccine coverage is far from ideal in Valencia, Spain, and this could be partially related to the low knowledge about the disease and the vaccine, therefore we assessed these, as well as the attitude towards vaccination in adolescent girls, and tried to identify independently associated factors that could potentially be modified by an intervention in order to increase vaccine coverage.MethodsA cross sectional study was conducted in a random selection of schools of the Spanish region of Valencia. We asked mothers of 1278 girls, who should have been vaccinated in the 2011 campaign, for informed consent. Those that accepted their daughters’ participation, a questionnaire regarding the Knowledge of HPV infection and vaccine was passed to the girls in the school.Results833 mothers (65.1%) accepted participation. All their daughters’ responded the questionnaire. Of those, 89.9% had heard about HPV and they associated it to cervical cancer. Only 14% related it to other problems like genital warts. The knowledge score of the girls who had heard about HPV was 6.1/10. Knowledge was unrelated to the number of contacts with the health system (Pediatrician or nurse), and positively correlated with the discussions with classmates about the vaccine. Adolescents Spanish in origin or with an older sister vaccinated, had higher punctuation. 67% of the girls thought that the vaccine prevented cancer, and 22.6% felt that although prevented cancer the vaccine had important safety problems. 6.4% of the girls rejected the vaccine for safety problems or for not considering themselves at risk of infection. 71.5% of the girls had received at least one vaccine dose. Vaccinated girls scored higher knowledge (p = 0.05).ConclusionKnowledge about HPV infection and vaccine was fair in adolescents of Valencia, and is independent to the number of contacts with the health system, it is however correlated to the conversations about the vaccine with their peers and the vaccination status. An action to improve HPV knowledge through health providers might increase vaccine coverage in the adolescents.

“…En el caso de Navarra, también de España, aunque los datos de los años 60 y 70 situaban sus tasas entre las más bajas de los países industrializados de Europa, los datos más recientes indican un empeoramiento de este indica-dor. Otro dato que debe alertarnos es que en el año 1990 26 , la incidencia de cáncer de pulmón en los hombres de 25-34 años de España fue la más alta de las registradas en la Unión Europea.…”

“…Este aumento observado también en otros paí-ses se atribuye a una mejora en el diagnostico y a un mayor seguimiento médico de las personas mayores. Otros autores relatan que el aumento de la incidencia y mortalidad a lo largo del tiempo es posible que sea debido no solamente a las diferencias en las tasas de detección o a los cambios en la calidad de los certificados, sino que podrían reflejar un verdadero incremento en la incidencia 27 .…”
