ABSTRACT
Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related diseases such as cervical cancer have become a public health problem that seriously threatens human health. In response to the action plan for the elimination of cervical cancer, this consensus, on the basis of the World Health Organization position paper on HPV vaccine (2017) and the latest advances in research at home and abroad, provides an overview of HPV pathogens and the clinical, epidemiological and vaccine aspects of HPV related diseases. Through a comprehensive and systematic introduction of HPV disease-related knowledge, we aim to improve the level of prevention and control of HPV related diseases, especially to provide systematic and comprehensive evidence-based basis for professionals to use HPV vaccine scientificly.

Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related diseases such as cervical cancer are public health problems that threaten human health. In response to an action plan for the elimination of cervical cancer, we review the etiology, clinical features, and epidemiology of HPV-related diseases and HPV vaccinology. Our consensus statement is based on the World Health Organization position paper on HPV vaccines (2017) and on recent advances in Chinese and international HPV research. Its purpose is to strengthen HPV-related disease prevention and control by providing systematic, comprehensive evidence to enable health professionals use of HPV vaccine in a scientifically-appropriate manner that maximizes impact on disease.
