HPV疫苗接种

HPV 疫苗可预防最容易导致癌症的 HPV 类型,在接触 HPV 之前接种效果最佳。所有 9-12 岁的年轻人都应接种 HPV 疫苗。还建议 26 岁以下的青少年和年轻人接种疫苗。尚未接种疫苗的 27-45 岁人士应咨询医疗保健提供者,了解 HPV 疫苗是否适合他们。

Most guidelines, including those of the American Cancer Society, do not recommend HPV vaccination after age 26 because more people in this age range have already been exposed to HPV reducing the overall benefit. The HPV vaccine is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use up to age 45. If you are 27 or older and considering getting vaccinated against HPV, talk to your health care provider.

HPV 最常见的危害是与宫颈癌有关,但它也能导致至少五种其他类型的癌症,包括发病率呈上升趋势的口咽癌(咽喉后部癌症,包括舌根和扁桃体)。好消息是,按照建议接种疫苗时,可以预防超过 90% 的由 HPV 感染引起的癌症。

乙肝疫苗接种

乙肝是导致肝癌的主要原因。事实上,大多数肝癌与慢性感染乙肝或丙肝病毒有关。

The hepatitis B vaccine should be given in three doses between birth and 6-18 months of age. All medically stable infants should be vaccinated against hepatitis B.

All children and adults up to age 59 who were not previously vaccinated, as well as adults ages 60 and over who were not previously vaccinated and who are at high risk, should be vaccinated against hepatitis B. (Adults ages 60 and over who were not previously vaccinated and who are not at increased risk may also be vaccinated.)

If you are not vaccinated, you can be tested for hepatitis B and treated if you test positive, but vaccination is the 最好的 抵御病毒和预防肝癌的方法。
