Özet
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is accepted as the cause of cervical cancer. Besides, HPV infection is a growing health problem. Prophylactic HPV vaccines immunologically block the virus by increasing the neutralizing antibodies in cervical secretions. These vaccines aim to stop the development of cervical preinvasive lesions and cervical cancer. The prospective studies proved that these vaccines were well tolerated; highly immunogenic, resulting in high antibody titers, decreasing persistent HPV infections and HPV related cervical disease. It can be postulated that vaccination against HPV will be superior to current protection strategies.
