Does HPV (human papillomavirus) quickly develop into cervical cancer if it is detected? Cervical cancer occurs all over the world and is one of the most common cancers in the human body. It not only takes the first place among cancers of female genital organs, but also is the most common cancer among various malignant tumors in women, but there are obvious regional differences in its incidence. The general trend is that the incidence rate is higher in rural areas than in cities and in mountainous areas than in plains. According to the retrospective survey of 29 provinces, cities and autonomous regions, the mortality rate of cervical cancer in China is the fourth of the total cancer mortality rate and the second of female cancer. The average age of onset of cervical cancer patients varies from country to country, with the age of onset in China being the most common between 40 and 50 years old, with another peak occurring between 60 and 70 years old and rare before 20 years old. The results of molecular biology studies show that more than 90% of cervical cancer is associated with HPV infection, mainly subtypes 16 and 18. In recent years, it has been found that infection with certain viruses such as herpes simplex virus type II, human papilloma virus and human cytomegalovirus through sexual intercourse may have some relationship with the development of cervical cancer. The development of cervical cancer may be caused by a combination of factors, and whether there is a synergistic or antagonistic effect among them needs to be further studied. There is a long and reversible precancerous period in the development of cervical cancer. HPV testing and typing during popular medical checkups and effective medical intervention for high-risk HPV infection and precancerous lesions can have a cure rate as high as 98%. Therefore, HPV infection can only be detected by HPV genetic testing or testing of gene expression.
