Question 9217 — health

Summary

Ms. Agnès Carel draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister of Health and Prevention, responsible for territorial organization and health professions, to the screening of papillomaviruses in men. Papillomaviruses (HPV) are responsible for fairly common sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In 10% of cases, papillomaviruses persist and could cause precancerous lesions and cancers. Screening in women, which has become common practice, makes it possible to detect abnormalities in the cells of the cervix and treat them before they develop into cancer, but also to diagnose cancers at an early stage and improve the chances of cure. Screening in men, even though they are also carriers, is still too rare. However, if it were practiced regularly in the male population, it could prevent cancers. Also, she asks what measures she intends to take to develop papillomavirus screening in men on the one hand and to raise awareness among health professionals about this screening on the other hand so that it is carried out more regularly.
