Abstract: Due to the correlation between HPV and human multi-organ cancers，HPV has become a research hotspot in recent years. The Ninth National Cervical Cancer Cooperative Group Working Conference and HPV vaccine and cervical cancer prevention symposium were held in Beijing on 23rd April 2011. Domestic and foreign experts and scholars addressed a variety of views at the conference，the view that HPV as a tumor virus was widely accepteded by scholars as well. This paper introduces and reviews the research status of HPV in recent years. In addition，some suggestions on prevention，screening and diagnosis of HPV in practical work are proposed，and some prospects of prevention and treatment of HPV are made，which can be discussed by vast numbers of clinical workers and researchers.
