Cervical cancer is the most common type of cancer caused by HPV. This cancer is characterized by the abnormal growth of cells in the cervix. There are more than 150 types of HPV, 40 of which can infect the ano-genital tract. And 13 are considered oncogenic, with types 16 and 18 being the most prevalent in cases of cervical cancer. This book covers various aspects of the subject, such as: epidemiological aspects of the disease in Brazil and worldwide, and various aspects of the disease, such as: contagion, infection, diagnosis, treatment and prevention. The chapters were written by a team of health professionals (biomedical doctors, physiotherapists and nurses). It is hoped that this publication will help to clarify the issue of cervical cancer.
