THE NHS will eliminate cervical cancer in England by 2040, chief executive Amanda Pritchard will pledge today.<\/p>\n

Vaccination is set to wipe out the sexually transmitted HPV virus that causes more than 99 per cent of cases.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And cervical screening will catch pre-cancerous growths before they evolve into tumours.<\/p>\n

It would be the first time England has eliminated a cancer and will make us one of the first in the world to do so.<\/p>\n

There are approximately 3,000 new cervical cancer cases and 850 deaths each year across the UK.<\/p>\n

Big Brother star Jade Goody died of the disease aged just 27 in 2009.<\/p>\n

Ms Pritchard said: \u201cTo eliminate cervical cancer would be an incredible, life-saving achievement and it could become a reality in the next two decades.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo achieve our goal we need as many people as possible to take up the offer of screening and vaccination.\u201d<\/p>\n

The World Health Organisation would class elimination as fewer than four cases per 100,000 women per year – roughly equal to fewer than 1,200 cases in England.<\/p>\n

Around two thirds of women take up cervical smear tests, which are offered every three to five years to all women aged 25 to 64.<\/p>\n

The charity Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust said: \u201cWe're really pleased that NHS England is pledging to eliminate cervical cancer by 2040.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe HPV vaccination programme is incredibly successful and has already led to an 87 per cent decrease in cervical cancer incidence in women in their 20s.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBy improving the uptake of both cervical screening and HPV vaccines, we can make cervical cancer a thing of the past.\u201d<\/p>\n
