The article discusses the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in cervical cancer prevention. It mentions about prophylactic vaccines that generate HPV specific antibodies which bind to the virus preventing it from infecting cervical epithelial cells. It states about strategies for exploiting HPV testing in cervical screening such as treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and informs that cervical cytology is labour intensive.
