The rates for new cervical cancer cases (incidence) have decreased steadily across multiple racial and ethnic groups, as follows:
3.6% decrease per year from 1996 to 2005 among all women.
3.5% decrease per year from 1996 to 2005 among white women.
5.0% decrease per year from 1996 to 2005 among African-American women.
5.3% decrease per year from 1996 to 2005 among Asian/Pacific Islander women.
4.2% decrease per year from 1996 to 2005 among Hispanic women.
This is interesting because I was told this past Oct by both my medical insurance and a dr. of gynecolgy/oncology that cervical cancer is still on the rise....the conversations with these individuals had nothing to do with the vaccine however.
Thanks for the info.
