Cervical Cancer — Treatment in Cuba

Cervical cancer is cancer that begins in the cells of the cervix. It is most commonly caused by persistent infection with high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV). Cuba has been at the forefront of HPV-related cancer research, including the development of the CimaVax-EGF and other immunotherapeutic approaches. At La Pradera International Health Center, our integrative oncology team provides comprehensive treatment programs for international patients with cervical cancer.
