Cervarix is a vaccine designed to protect against certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV), particularly types 16 and 18, which are the most common causes of cervical cancer.
Prevention of Cervical Cancer: Cervarix is primarily used to prevent cervical cancer by targeting HPV types 16 and 18, which cause about 70% of cervical cancer cases.
Prevention of Precancerous Lesions: The vaccine also helps prevent the development of precancerous lesions in the cervix (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or CIN), which can progress to cancer if untreated.
