Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a major cause of various types of cancer, particularly cervical cancer. Despite increasing research and developments in understanding and identifying HPV, there is currently no treatment for preventing or curing infections. Human Papillomavirus Infections in Dermatovenereology pulls together the diverse disciplines of clinical, molecular biological, socioepidemiological, and immunological research to bridge the gap between clinical aspects and basic biology of HPV.
