Roger - ROG STOCK NEWS

Roche's commissioned survey reveals significant gaps in public understanding of HPV and cervical cancer across 12 countries in Latin America and Europe. Key findings include:

• Half of respondents have or no awareness of HPV's role in cervical cancer
• Barriers to screening include fear of pain and discomfort discussing sexual history
• Over 70% of respondents are interested in self-collection options for screening

The survey highlights the need for improved education and accessible screening methods. Roche emphasizes the importance of early detection and prevention, aligning with WHO's goal to eliminate cervical cancer globally. The company has joined the Global HPV Consortium and partners with health systems in over 55 countries to support cervical cancer screening programs using the cobas® HPV test.
