((Cervical cancer is a leading cause of cancer related death among women worldwide...killing more than 250-000 every year. But tonight
scientists report...this pervasive cancer may have met its match...in the form of a vaccine.
the vaccine...targets a specific strain of the human papilloma virus or HPV ...a sexually transmitted disease known to cause 50 percent of
cervical cancers...early results published in tomorrow's NEJM show it works:
(SOT) Dr. Katherine Van Kessel/Univ. of Washington Med Sch.
in the first one and a half years it was 100 percent effective.
Track/GFX: 768 women aged 16 to 23 got the vaccine: Every single one developed immunity to HPV...and as a result..no one got the virus or any early signs of cancer.
Track: to gynecologic surgeons like Dr. Carol Brown...the news is a breakthrough
Dr. Carol Brown/gynecologic oncologist/Memorial Sloan Kettering
Cancer Center: its really the first time that a vaccine has been shown to prevent directly a pre-cancerous condition and indirectly a cancerous condition.
Researchers foresee this vaccine becoming a valuable weapon in the public health arsenal...one day becoming part of every woman's
routine health care:
Van Kessel
you would potentially look at vaccinating young girls prior to their sexual debut..girls who are age 10 to 12.
Although this particular vaccine targets a virus..and not the cancer itself...doctors believe its success has broader implications:
perhaps a variety of cancers could one day go the way of smallpox and polio...wiped out by vaccines that bolster the body's immune system.
Dr. Carol Brown :
In general...vaccines are being studied in melanoma...they are being studied in ovarian cancer.
In addition doctors say..if the vaccine takes off on a large scale...it could one day cut back on the need for pap tests....the current screening procedure for cervical cancer.
But for every hope raised by this study's success...there are many unanswered questions. Researchers still don't know how long the immunity will last...if it can protect against the many strains of HPV...and when the FDA will approve such a vaccine for mass consumption.The thinking is that's still about 5 years away...))

Many of those who responded said Chief Charles Bennett was out of touch with the department.
But the most negative comments were aimed at Bennett's command staff-- which many accused of promoting and disciplining officers using the "good ol' boy network" and "favoritism".
55- percent of the officers said they were looking for another job-- citing low morale as the main reason, along with poor pay and benefits.
Nearly one third of those who responded also felt the police department was NOT doing a good job of protecting citizens.
