ABSTRACT
Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the best known malignancies. Currently,
it is accepted that the etiological factor is persistent infection with highrisk
human papillomavirus (HPV). Even before the identification of its
etiological factors, methods such as Pap cytology and colposcopy were
developed as tools for early diagnosis on CC and its precursor lesions.
At the time when such tests were being developed, they were not fully
accepted by the scientific community of the time; however, as time went
by, the dissemination of knowledge, and more extensive application,
these tests were finally included within the international guidelines. The
implementation of programs with adequate coverage and quality allowed
a significant reduction in the incidence and mortality of CC. However this
did not occur widely, and CC is still a public health problem in developing
countries. From the epidemiological and molecular viewpoint, knowledge
on HPVs laid the foundations for the development of new prevention
strategies based on vaccination and molecular detection of the causal
agent, currently accepted as strategies for primary and secondary prevention.
It is expected that the implementation of these strategies will
have a greater impact on the control on CC and other malignancies
associated with HPV infection.
