Overview

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a non-enveloped, double-stranded DNA virus of the Papillomaviridae family that infects cutaneous and mucosal epithelium, with more than two hundred genotypes classified by oncogenic potential. Low-risk types such as HPV-6 and HPV-11 cause anogenital warts, whereas high-risk types, notably HPV-16 and HPV-18, drive virtually all cervical cancers and a substantial share of vulvar, vaginal, anal, penile, and oropharyngeal malignancies. Oncogenesis proceeds through persistent infection and integration of the viral genome, with the E6 and E7 oncoproteins inactivating the p53 and retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor pathways, producing the dysplastic progression detectable as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Diagnostic and prognostic correlates include Pap smear cytology and immunohistochemical markers such as p16/INK4a and Ki-67 that distinguish transforming from benign lesions. Research in this area examines the role of HPV in virus-induced carcinogenesis, cervical screening uptake and its determinants across diverse populations, abnormal Pap-smear prevalence, intraepithelial lesion evaluation, and links to head-and-neck cancer epigenetics. The journal publishes peer-reviewed studies addressing cervical cytology, screening determinants among under-served and refugee women, and the molecular pathology of HPV-associated disease, situating prevention, early detection, and the wider landscape of sexually transmitted infection within Cervical Cancer control.
