Cervical cancer (CCA) is the 2nd most common cancer among women worldwide. For approximately 2 years now, CCA has been converted from an oncological disease to an infectious disease, almost certainly caused by Human papillomavirus (HPV). Development of effective vaccines against the virus has created considerable issue world-wide and has major implications for both primary and secondary prevention strategies. The objective of this study was to establish the prevalence and genotype distribution of HPV in preinvasive, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN II and III) and invasive CCA in Sharkia governorate, Egypt.
