The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) today launched the website of the Center of Excellence for Monitoring Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccination Impact (CHRONOS), the first global repository of standardized data on the impact of HPV vaccination in low- and middle-income countries.
The new website is a key part of the strategy to promote and disseminate the CHRONOS project, which supports low- and middle-income countries to monitor the impact of HPV vaccination and to conduct HPV prevalence surveys through the development of standardized methods, materials, tools, e-learning resources, and teaching toolkits. These resources will help local teams plan, prepare, conduct, monitor, and analyse HPV vaccination impact studies in women, with precision and consistency.
The website is also a channel for interested countries and stakeholders to initiate collaborations with IARC. Local evidence is essential to inform context-specific cervical cancer control policies and to ensure the comparability of programmes across countries and populations and over time. Through the CHRONOS project, IARC continues to strengthen global efforts to ensure that evidence-driven policies contribute to cervical cancer elimination.
