Overview
The "Leading the Fight Against HPV-Related Cancers: From Prevention to Elimination" Symposium will serve as a national platform for healthcare leaders, policymakers, researchers, and public health experts to address the growing burden of HPV-related cancers and explore evidence-based strategies for prevention, early detection, and elimination.
Through scientific presentations, expert discussions, and multidisciplinary engagement, the symposium will highlight current advances in HPV vaccination, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and public health initiatives, while supporting Saudi Arabia’s efforts toward eliminating HPV-related cancers.
The symposium aims to bridge evidence and implementation by equipping clinicians and policymakers with actionable, evidence-based strategies for the prevention, screening, diagnosis, and management of HPV-related cancers.

Welcome Message
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the first regional symposium dedicated exclusively to HPV-related cancers. This symposium reflects Saudi Arabia’s commitment to improving population health through HPV prevention, early detection, and multidisciplinary care. It also reflects Rofaida Women’s Health Organization’s commitment to advancing women’s health through advocacy, education, and supportive policies.
HPV causes six types of cancer affecting both women and men, requiring a multidisciplinary approach to prevention and care. The symposium therefore brings together gynecologists, oncologists, otolaryngologists, dermatologists, pathologists, laboratory specialists, public health professionals, researchers, and patient advocates to share the latest scientific and clinical updates, highlight local data, bring the patient voice into the discussion, and shape the roadmap for HPV prevention and care.
I look forward to welcoming you and to a meaningful and engaging symposium.
