WHAT GARDASIL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Gardasil is a vaccine. Vaccination with Gardasil is intended to
protect against diseases caused by
Human
Papillomavirus (HPV) types
6, 11, 16, and 18.
These diseases include pre
-
cancerous lesions of the female genitals (cervix, vulva, and
vagina); pre
-
cancerous lesions
of the anus and
genital warts in males and females; cervical and anal cancers.
HPV
types 16 and 18 are responsible for
approximately 70
%
of cervical cancer
cases, 75-80 % of anal
cancer cases; 70
% of HPV-related pre-cancero
us lesions of the vulva and vagina;
80 % of HPV
related pre-
cancerous lesions of the anus.
HPV types
6 and 11 are responsible for
approximately 90
%
of
genital wart
cases.
Gardasil is intended to prevent these diseases. The vaccine is not
used to treat HP
V related diseases.
Gardasil does not have any effect in
individuals
who already have a persistent infection or disease
associated with any of the HPV types in the vaccine. However, in
individuals
who are already infected
with one or more of the
vaccine HPV types, Gardasil can still protect against disease
s
associated with
the other HPV types in the vaccine.
