In 2020, 3380 new cases of cervical cancer were reported, the third most common cancer in women (The Global Cancer Observatory, 2021). Even though cervical cancer is preventable and treatable if early diagnosed, the crude mortality rate is the highest in Europe – 18.3 (per 100000 women) and 1805 women died because of this cancer in 2020 (Bruni, et al., 2023). Even though Romanians seem open towards HPV vaccination, the vaccination rate is extremely low and international statistics don’t even have data about the share of the population who took HPV vaccine.
