USA Today Aug 18th 2009 said:The new HPV vaccine, which protects against viruses that cause most cervical cancers, has been a commercial success for manufacturer Merck, with worldwide sales last year of $1.4 billion. But some doctors now question whether the vaccine has been overpromoted to affluent women who need it least instead of patients most at risk of dying from the disease.
Medical groups that accepted Merck funding mostly echoed the company line — touting the vaccine's benefits with little mention of its limitations, says a report in today's Journal of the American Medical Association...
...Although Merck's ads suggest that all women are at risk — a strategy that helps them find as many customers as possible — cervical cancer does not actually strike women equally, says report co-author Sheila Rothman of the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York.
Women who die from the cancer tend to be poor women without access to routine medical care that allows doctors to find and remove growths before they turn malignant, Rothman says.
In the USA, about 11,000 women develop cervical cancer each year, and 4,070 die from it, according to the American Cancer Society. Many of those deaths are among poor white women in Appalachia, blacks in the South and Latinas along the Texas-Mexico border, Rothman says. Merck's marketing has "practically ignored" these women, she says.
