Obstetrics & Gynaecology · Cervical Carcinoma (Risk Factors, Staging, Treatment)

According to WHO 2020 Global Strategy to accelerate cervical cancer elimination, the '90-70-90' targets to be achieved by 2030 include all of the following EXCEPT:

  • A 90% of girls fully vaccinated with HPV vaccine by age 15
  • B 70% of women screened with a high-performance test by age 35 and again by age 45
  • C 90% of cervical cancer cases detected at Stage I or II
  • D 90% of women identified with cervical disease receive treatment and care
Correct answer: C. 90% of cervical cancer cases detected at Stage I or II

Explanation

The WHO 90-70-90 targets for cervical cancer elimination by 2030 are: (1) 90% HPV vaccination of girls by age 15; (2) 70% screening coverage with high-performance test (HPV DNA) by age 35 and 45; (3) 90% treatment of women with cervical precancer and cancer. Early-stage detection at 90% is not one of the three numerical targets — it is an intended outcome, not a target metric of the strategy.
