The human papillomavirus (HPV) is an important causal agent of premalignant cervical epithelial changes and cervical cancers. These cancers account for ∼5% of all cancers globally and kill more than a quarter million women annually. HPV infections also associate with certain anogenital and oropharyngeal cancers. Events leading to the development of HPV vaccines to prevent associated cancers are described, with a further discussion of goals that must be met to achieve full virus eradication.
