Abstract
The aim of this review is to promote the prevention of cervical cancer in Japan. Cervical cancer due to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a preventable cause of death, although HPV infection is very common and anyone who has had sexual intercourse can become infected. Cervical cancer is a serious disease that can significantly affect women’s lives; it can not only deprive women of their fertility but also lead to death if left untreated.
