This publication, Comprehensive cervical cancer control: a guide to essential practice (C4GEP), provides a comprehensive approach to cervical cancer prevention and control. In particular, it outlines the complementary strategies for comprehensive cervical cancer prevention and control, and highlights the need for collaboration across programmes, organizations and partners. This new guide updates the 2006 edition and includes the recent promising developments in technologies and strategies that can address the gaps between the needs for and availability of services for cervical cancer prevention and control.

This position paper published in 2014 replaces the corresponding document published in April 2009. It focuses primarily on the prevention of cervical cancer, but also adresses the broader spectrum of cancers and other diseases preventable by HPV vaccination. The main difference from the previous paper concerns the number of doses of vaccine recommended for different age groups.

Volume 100 of the IARC Monographs, A Review of Human Carcinogens, covers all agents previously classified by IARC as "carcinogenic to humans (Group 1)".

This Volume 100B covers Human Papillomaviruses, among other Biological Agents. Each Monograph presents: i) a description of a carcinogenic agent and how people are exposed, ii) critical overviews of the epidemiological studies and animal cancer bioassays, and iii) a concise review of the agent's toxicokinetics, plausible mechanisms of carcinogenesis, and potentially susceptible populations, and life-stages. Details of the design and results of individual epidemiological studies and animal cancer bioassays are summarized in tables. Short tables that highlight key results are printed in Volume 100, and more extensive tables that include all studies appear on the Monographs programme website.


This ninetieth volume of the IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans considers human papillomaviruses (HPVs), which were evaluated by a previous Working Group (IARC, 1995).

Supplement on HPV disease and prevention authored by leading scientists and experts in the field. Updates the previous supplement (2006). The supplement is presented as individual peer-reviewed articles on HPV as a major public health problem, HPV natural history and biology, HPV therapies, current screening strategies for cervical cancer including new technologies and prospects, prophylactic HPV vaccines and their introduction, economic analyses and gaps in knowledge.
