According to research findings, 99% of cervical cancer is related to HPV virus infection. According to the correlation between HPV virus and malignant tumor, it can be divided into low-risk HPV virus and high-risk HPV virus. The so-called high-risk HPV virus, that is, infection with these HPV viruses may cause cervical cancer or other malignant tumors such as throat cancer, and 75% of cervical cancer is related to HPV16 and HPV18. Therefore, when HPV16 positive is found, colposcopy should be performed in time to find out whether there are cervical lesions and timely treatment.
