title: Papilloma virus infection. Precancer and epidermoid cancer.
abstract: We present a review of the relationship between Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Precancer and Epidermoid Cancer of the uterine cervix, Co-factors that contribute in cervical carcinogenesis and the mechanism through which Papillomaviruses transform normal cells into neoplastic cells by inducing an overproduction of the encoded proteins. We also offer final remarks and conclusions on this pathology that increases its incidence every year.
