It stands among the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in women, particularly in minorities and impoverished countries. The main precursor to cervical cancer is cervical dysplasia, a premalignant condition triggered primarily by an oncogenic strain of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection. However, not all women infected with the virus develop cervical dysplasia or cancer, suggesting multiple host factors contribute to disease progression. Fortunately, many of these factors, such as nutrient deficiencies, can be reversed, leading to regression of dysplastic lesions. Cervical dysplasia arises from the persistent infection of the cervical tissue by HPV, with HPV 16 being the most common type responsible for 50% of cervical cancer cases. There are other HPV oncogenic types, including HPV 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68. Normally, HPV infections clear wit...
