dc.description.abstractObjective: Human papillomavirus (HPV), Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Chlamydia infections, long-term oral contraceptive use, poor diet, multiple pregnancies, low socioeconomic status and family history are major risk factors for cervical cancer. The aim of the study was to evaluate doctors' knowledge about HPV vaccine and the risk factors for the development of cervical cancer. Material and Methods: Before the HPV vaccine license approval in our country, we were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire regarding cervical cancer and HPV vaccine. A total of 188 doctors filled the questionnaires. Results: The mean age of the participant doctors was 38 ± 10 years. Eighty percent of them were pediatricians. HPV infection, early sexual activity, multiple pregnancies, HIV infection and oral contraceptive use were defined as very important risk factors for cervical cancer by 85%, 73%, 21%, 41% and 13% of the doctors, respectively. About 80% of the doctors were aware of the use of HPV vaccine in the prevention of cervical cancer. Conclusion: Doctors' knowledge especially on the association of HPV and cervical cancer seems to be satisfactory. However, more information on the development and prevention of cervical cancer should be given to physicians. Copyright © 2010 by Türkiye Klinikleri.en_US
