In the third episode of a series of four videos, timed to coincide with Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, Maurie Markman, MD, spoke to Healio about how clinicians can help break down barriers to HPV vaccines.

According to Markman, president of medicine and science at Cancer Treatment Centers of America and a member of the HemOnc Today editorial board, discussions should focus on HPV vaccination as a cancer prevention strategy and not a way to prevent an STD.

“It would be hard to believe — if we could communicate this effectively — that parents wouldn’t see this as a positive,” Markman told Healio.
