Abstract:
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection causes almost all cases of cervical cancer, the second most common cause of death from cancer among women worldwide. HPV can also cause many other kinds of cancers and diseases including skin warts and anogenital mucosal condylomata, etc. Vaccines against HPV including the prophylactic and therapeutic ones have been developed to prevent and treat the diseases relevant to HPV infection. Progresses of the two kinds of vaccines were reviewed in this article to give a reference to novel HPV vaccine research.
