Abstract
Cervical cancer elimination is a global health priority with the ambitious 90:70:90 target set by the WHO. This initiative aims for 90% of girls to be vaccinated against HPV, 70% of women to be screened with a high-performance test, and 90% of those who test positive to receive appropriate treatment by 2030. This editorial reflects on the journey from the initial declaration in 2018 to the present, highlighting the progress, challenges, and future directions in the fight against cervical cancer. With significant contributions from organizations like FIGO and FOGSI, the introduction of cost-effective vaccines and advanced screening methods, we are on a path towards achieving our targets. However, persistent efforts and global collaboration are essential to overcome the remaining hurdles.
