This is a summary of the presentations addressing approaches and achievements to reach the goal of eliminating cervical cancer as a global public health problem that were delivered at the 7th Annual Symposium on Global Cancer Research at the 10th Annual Consortium of Universities for Global Health Meeting in March 2019. Dr Princess Nothemba Simelela, Assistant Director-General for Family, Women, Children and Adolescents, World Health Organization, gave an introduction to the World Health Organization–led Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative and the emerging conceptual framework and targets that will shape the global 2020 to 2030 strategy. Subsequent presentations shared experiences from national programs in Rwanda (Agnes Binagwaho), Latin America (Patricia J. Garcia), and Senegal (Babacar Gueye and J. Andrew Dykens. Successes in intensified human papillomavirus vaccination and screening with follow-up treatment of early and advanced lesions detected are highlighted as well as the challenges and obstacles in achieving and maintaining high coverage in Africa and Latin America. With strong political leadership, commitment of national stakeholders, and the use of proven and cost-effective approaches to human papillomavirus vaccination, screening, and treatment, the vision of a world free of cervical cancer and saving women’s lives every year by preventing deaths from cervical cancer will be achievable in the next generation in all countries.

O câncer de colo uterino ainda hoje é um problema de saúde pública em muitas partes do mundo. No Brasil, é o terceiro tumor maligno mais frequente entre as mulheres. Uma das causas pontadas como percussor desse câncer é o HPV, principalmente, quando correlacionado a outros fatores de riscos e estilo de vida. Sua cura é altamente possível desde que se tenha um diagnóstico rápido e preciso. Na maioria dos casos, as alterações celulares no colo uterino são descobertas facilmente no exame preventivo conhecido como Papanicolau. Outro método que pode ser utilizado para esta detecção precoce de lesões em colo cervical é a fluorescência óptica que não é invasivo e vem sendo amplamente utilizado no diagnóstico de lesões bucais e de pele. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão da literatura sobre a aplicação da fluorescência óptica no diagnóstico de lesões em colo cervical.Descritores: Fluorescência; Neoplasias do Colo do Útero; Diagnóstico.ReferênciasINCA.

Abstract Covid-19, the greatest global health crisis for a century, brought a new immediacy and urgency to international bio-medical research. The pandemic generated intense competition to produce a vaccine and contain the virus, creating what the World Health Organization referred to as an ‘infodemic’ of published output. In this frantic atmosphere, researchers were keen to get their research noticed. In this paper, we explore whether this enthusiasm influenced the rhetorical presentation of research and encouraged scientists to “sell” their studies. Examining a corpus of the most highly cited SCI articles on the virus published in the first seven months of 2020, we explore authors’ use of hyperbolic and promotional language to boost aspects of their research. Our results show a significant increase in hype to stress certainty, contribution, novelty and potential, especially regarding research methods, outcomes and primacy. Our study sheds light on scientific persuasion at a time of intense social anxiety.
