Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection globally, with certain high-risk strains being strongly associated with cervical cancer. This article examines the biological mechanisms by which HPV infection leads to cervical carcinogenesis, explores the epidemiology and risk factors, and evaluates preventive measures such as vaccination and screening. With advancements in public health strategies, a significant reduction in the burden of cervical cancer is possible. This discussion aims to elucidate the critical role of understanding the HPVcervical cancer connection in developing comprehensive prevention and management programs.
