人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）及其诱发子宫颈癌的新进展

子宫颈癌是一类发病率仅次于乳腺癌并严重危害女性生殖系统健康的最常见的妇科恶性肿瘤,在发展中国家,是女性癌症死亡的第一因素。自德国科学家哈拉尔德.楚尔豪森（Harald zur Hausen）因发现人乳头瘤病毒（Human papillomavirus,HPV）导致子宫颈癌而获得2008年度的诺贝尔生理学或医学奖后,全世界广泛认可人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）是引起子宫颈癌的最主要生物学因素。HPV病毒的持续感染在子宫颈癌的发生、发展过程中起了重要作用。本文就HPV病毒的生物学结构、女性生殖道HPV病毒的感染途径以及HPV病毒诱发子宫颈癌机制的最近的研究进展进行扼要综述。

New progress on Human Papilloma Virus Causing Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer is a malignant tumor of gynecology,which seriously harm to women＇s reproductive system health,and it＇s second only to breast cancer.In developing countries,cervical cancer is the first factor in female cancer deaths.Since The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for 2008 has decided to award with a German scientist named Harald zur Hausen for his discovery of human papilloma virus causing cervical cancer,throughout the world has recognized widely that human papilloma virus（HPV） was the most important biological factors which caused cervical cancer.Persistent infection with HPV virus played an important role in the process of cervical cancer occurred and development.In this Summary,I will outlines the recent progress including the biological structure of HPV virus,the routes of female genital tract HPV virus infection and the mechanism of HPV viruses cause cervical cancer.
