摘要

id="S3title">BackgroundPersistent infections with human papillomaviruses are a necessary cause of cervical carcinomas. The development of HPV-based prevention tools, HPV vaccination and HPV testing, is leading to major changes in cervical cancer prevention programs worldwide.

The focus is now on the integration of new approaches for screening of increasingly vaccinated populations.
