It is well accepted today that almost all cases of carcinoma of the cervix are caused by persistent infections with high-risk human papilloma viruses (HPV), especially through types HPV16 and HPV18 (ca. 70%). These same types are also responsible for some carcinomas of the vulva, anus, penis and oropharynx. This knowledge indicates that it should be possible to prevent these carcinomas if a majority of the causstive HPV infections can be prevented.
如今人们普遍认为，几乎所有宫颈癌病例都是由高危型人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）持续感染引起的，尤其是HPV16型和HPV18型（约占70%）。同样这两种类型也与一些外阴癌、肛门癌、阴茎癌和口咽癌有关。这一认知表明，如果能够预防大多数致病性HPV感染，那么就有可能预防这些癌症。
