The American Dermatological Association Co-Sponsors Americ an Cancer Society’s HPV Vaccine Policy

Dermatologists routinely engage in the care of patients with mucocutaneous manifestations of Human Papillomavirus infections [HPV]. HPV is associated with protean medical illnesses including cervical, vaginal, vulvar, penile, anal, and oropharyngeal cancers, as well as warts, condylomata, and orophar yngeal papillomas. While there are numerous serotypes of HPV, type 16 and 18 are responsible for the majority of malignancies.

HPV infects 79 million people in the United States and is associated with 32,500 cases of cancer in men and women.[https://www.cdc.gov/hpv/hcp/need-to-know.pdf] Worldwide, over a quarter of a million women die of HPV induced cervical cancer yearly.[https://www.who.int/immunization/topics/hpv/en/]

Vaccines are available to protect young women and men against the most pathogenic serotypes and are recommended as part of a routine vaccination schedule for children and young adults. These vaccines markedly reduce the mortality associated with HPV infections.

The American Dermatological Association is pleased to announce its support of the American C ancer Society in its public polic y campaign for vaccination against HPV beginning at age 11 or 12 for girls and boys.

The American Dermatological Association also recognizes the e xpanded age range, between 27 and 45, recently approved by the FDA for male and female H PV vaccination with human papillomavirus 9-valent vaccine.

The American Dermatological Association emphasizes the importance of HPV vaccination at all appropriate ages as a means to reduce HPV-related diseases and recommends that patients consult their health care providers regarding HPV-related diseases.

About the ADA

The American Dermatological Association recognizes, discusses and develops solutions for problems in the area of dermatologic health care, research and education.

About the ADA

Founded in 1876, the American Dermatological Association (ADA) was the first national dermatological society in the United States. Its members are recognized leaders in Dermatolog y research, education, organizational medicine, and patient care. It is charged with advancing scientific endeavor in Dermatolog y. In the execution of its enduring mission, the ADA spawned the American Board of Dermatolog y in 1932, the Society for Investigative Dermatology in 1937, and the American Academy of Dermatology in 1938. Membership in the ADA is achieved through nomination and election based on meritorious contributions to the field of Dermatology.

Ethos Statement:

The American Dermatological Association maintains a leadership role in the contemplation and implementation of initiatives that advance the field of Dermatolog y through research, education, and advocacy. This, in turn, advances the care and treatment of patients with skin disease. As an independent, non-profit, self-funded organization, the American Dermatological Association provides objective analyses and recommendations regarding the complex challenges faced by Dermatology. This is accomplished through stewardship and collaboration with other organizations committed to the ongoing process of advancing the field of Dermatolog y in the house of medicine.

The American Dermatological Association is funded entirely from membership dues. There are no external or commercial sources of support.
