ABE: Introduction Essential precondition for the development of cervical cancer is a persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The majority - approximately 70% - of cervical carcinomas is caused by two high-risk HPV types (16 and 18). Recently, two vaccines have been approved to the German market with the potential to induce protection against HPV 16 and HPV 18 among additional low-risk virus types. Objectives To analyse whether HPV vaccination is effective with regard to the reduction of cervical cancer and precursors of cervical carcinoma (CIN), respectively? Does HPV vaccination represent a cost-effective alternative or supplement to present screening practice? Are there any differences concerning cost-effectiveness between the two available vaccines? Should HPV vaccination be recommended from a health economic point of view? If so, which recommendations can be conveyed with respect to a (re)organization of the German vaccination strategy? Which ethical, social and legal implications have to be considered? ... (abbreviated)
ABG: Einleitung Notwendige Voraussetzung für die Entstehung von Zervixkarzinomen ist eine persistierende Infektion mit humanen Papillomaviren (HPV). Die HPV-Typen 16 und 18 verursachen mit etwa 70% den überwiegenden Teil der Zervixkarzinome. Seit 2006/2007 stehen zwei Impfstoffe gegen HPV 16 und 18 zur Verfügung. Fragestellung Wie effektiv ist die HPV-Impfung hinsichtlich der Reduktion von Zervixkarzinomen bzw. ihren Vorstufen (CIN)? Stellt die HPV-Impfung eine kosteneffektive Ergänzung zur derzeitigen Screeningpraxis dar? Gibt es Unterschiede bezüglich der Kosten-Effektivität zwischen den beiden verfügbaren Impfstoffen? Sollte aus gesundheitsökonomischer Perspektive eine Empfehlung für den Einsatz der HPV-Impfung gegeben werden? Falls ja, welche Empfehlungen bezüglich der Ausgestaltung einer Impfstrategie lassen sich ableiten? Welche ethischen, sozialen und juristischen Implikationen sind zu berücksichtigen?...
