The aggressiveness of HPV types 16 and 18 appears to be related to their ability to incorporate into the genome of cervical epithelial cells. Simply put, some affinity or affinity to the local DNA type of cervical cells.

It usually takes about 10-15 years after HPV infection before cancer develops. Cancer is detected in the early stages by screening. In addition, a gynecologist can conduct a visual inspection of the cervix. Of the early symptoms of tumor development, the doctor singled out bloody discharge.
