ABSTRACT

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the sexual transmitted agent necessary for the development of cervical cancer. The infection by HPV is very common and it is acquired very early after sexual debut. Although the infection is very common, not all of them progress to cancer, there are 3 groups of cofactors that facilitate the progression of the lesions. The specific type of virus and the time of persistence of the infection are 2 of the most important determinants in the risk of development of cancer, however for the occurrence of the different steps, a relative long period of time must pass, this is the reason for which this disease is highly preventable.
