In the final installment of a four-video series timed to Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, Maurie Markman, MD, spoke with Healio about which adults may derive the most benefit from catch-up HPV vaccination.
Vaccination may protect some adults from persistent infection, according to Markman, president of medicine and science at Cancer Treatment Centers of America and a HemOnc Today Editorial Board member.
