Australia wants to be first nation in the world to eliminate a cancer - can it?

Australia is racing to become the first nation to eliminate a cancer, with a focus on cervical cancer. The country has a two-pronged approach to elimination, including vaccination of high school students with the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. This vaccine can prevent the development of cervical cancer, which is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide. Australia aims to achieve this goal within a decade.
