Abstract

AbstractWorldwide, cervical cancer remains as one of the most common malignancies that threaten women's health. An epidemiological survey has shown that high-risk chronic HPV infection is the leading cause of cervical cancer. Thus, the prevention of HPV infection is the main approach to the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer. Sexual behavior, individual immunity, and age are important cofactors in the promotion of HPV infection. Preventive measures that have been gradually implemented worldwide have significantly decreased the incidence of cervical cancer in recent years. These measures include preventive vaccination against common high-risk HPV and cervical cancer screening, which includes HPV testing. HPV testing in cervical cancer screening has received increased attention and provides the basis for the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer. Given that HPV infection rates significantly vary from region to region, procedures for cervical cancer screening should be improved based on regional differences.
