•The negative impact of infectious diseases and their immunoprevention during the different stages of a woman’s life requires a broad approach including adolescence, adulthood, pregnancy and the postmenopausal phase.
•Immunization of pregnant women should be a priority for the protection of the maternal-fetal dyad, especially in regions with high rates of infections preventable by immunization.
•Brazil has one of the most comprehensive vaccination programs in the world – the National Immunization Program (Programa Nacional de Imunizações, PNI) – that serves all age groups: newborns, children, adolescents, adults, pregnant women and older adults, as well as groups with special needs, such as adolescents, pregnant and older adult women.
•However, vaccination coverage remains below ideal for all available vaccines, especially among adolescents and pregnant women, and Febrasgo is committed to collaborating with the PNI to combat vaccine hesitancy.
•The gynecologist/obstetrician is the reference physician for women, therefore the access to information and updates regarding all vaccines recommended for their patients is extremely important for this professional, aiming at the greatest possible protection.
•The objective of this Febrasgo Position Statement is to bring an update to women’s vaccination schedule, covering some vaccines that are available, including new approved vaccines and those in the commercialization phase.
•This work is a compilation of the First Febrasgo Scientific Immunization Forum held in the city of São Paulo in October 2023 with the objective to update recommendations for vaccines in use and new innovative vaccines soon to be available.

PURPOSE: the villoglandular adenocarcinoma (VGA) of the cervix has been identified as a variant of cervical adenocarcinoma that occurs in young women, which has an excellent prognosis. Considering the scarcity of studies related to the subject, we report six cases of VGA of the cervix. METHODS: we followed the development of six cases of VGA in the period from 1995 to 2006 at Hospital São Lucas of Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUC-RS). We collected clinical and histologic information of the patients and submitted all the surgical specimens to histological review. RESULTS: mean age at diagnosis was 43.5 years (range 27-61 years). Four patients were submitted to Wertheim-Meigs radical hysterectomy and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy, one to conization and subsequent radiotherapy and one to pelvic lymphadenectomy followed by radiotherapy. All the patients were alive and well at the time of this writing, without evidence of recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: the implications of therapy are discussed. We propose here the inclusion of the study of the pattern of lymphovascular involvement in determining the diagnosis of VGA. Thus, in referring to this diagnosis, we will be able to opt, with caution, for conservative therapy, except for particularities of each case.

PURPOSE: to test the hypothesis that gene TP53 codon 72 polymorphism is a risk factor for premalignant and malignant cervical lesions associated or not with human papillomavirus (HPV). METHODS: uterine cervical samples were collected for HPV DNA and TP53 codon 72 polymorphism tests from 155 patients who underwent cervical biopsy. Three groups were formed according to histological diagnosis: low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and cervical carcinoma. Subjects without cytological and histological displasic changes were considered controls. To verify the association between the gene TP53 codon 72 polymorphism and the groups, the chi2 test was applied. Confidence interval was considered significant at 95% (alpha=0.05). RESULTS: forty subjects were found to present cervical carcinoma, 18 had HSIL, 24 had LSIL and 73 were grouped as controls. The genotype Arg/Arg p53 was found in 60% of the patients with cancer, in 50.0% of the cases with HSIL, 45.8% with LSIL, and in 45.2% of the controls. No significant differences were identified in the frequencies of p53 genotype between all groups, independently of the presence of HPV (chi2: 3.7; p=0.716). CONCLUSIONS: our data do not support hypothesis that the gene TP53 codon 72 polymorphism is important for the development of pre-malignant and malignant cervical lesions associated or not with HPV.
