to above 25 cases per 100,000 women and
age-standardised mortality rates from 1
death per 100,000 women to 10
deaths per 100,000 women.
HPV vaccination coverages vary

Cervical cancer can be prevented by the HPV
vaccination, however HPV vaccination coverages
vary considerably across Europe from less
