The biological importance of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the field of medicine - related to cervical carcinogenesis - has been extensively reported in the last decades. For the first time, a direct correlation between cause and effect to explain a cancer development was completely achieved in medical research. Consequently, the Nobel Prize was awarded to HZ Hausen in 2008 for his efforts to understand the effects of persistent infection of oncogenic types of HPV and malignancy transformation. The aim of the present review was to summarize the principal elements of HPV characteristics and their importance in oncology.
在过去几十年中,人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)在与宫颈癌发生相关的医学领域中的生物学重要性已得到广泛报道。在医学研究中,首次完全实现了因果之间的直接关联以解释癌症的发展。因此,HZ豪森因努力了解致癌型HPV持续感染的影响和恶性转化而于2008年被授予诺贝尔奖。本综述的目的是总结HPV特征的主要内容及其在肿瘤学中的重要性。
