Faisal Azam et al. J Pak Med Assoc. 2010 Aug.

Abstract

Human Papilloma virus (HPV) is present in all the cases of cervical cancer. It can also cause other diseases like genital warts, condylomata accuminata, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and Anogenital cancers. Cervical cancer is the second most common cause of death from cancer. To improve the mortality from cervical cancers it is extremely important to prevent the HPV infection. In this review we have discussed the role of HPV vaccines in preventing the HPV infections and so the cervical cancer.
