Abstract

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection remains a significant global health concern, particularly due to its association with cervical cancer, the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide. This article explores the molecular mechanisms underlying HPVassociated cervical cancer and discusses screening and diagnostic methods crucial for early detection and management. Key receptors, molecules, genes, and proteins involved in HPVinduced carcinogenesis are examined, providing insights into potential therapeutic targets. Screening programs, including Pap smear testing and HPV DNA testing, are essential for identifying precancerous lesions, while emerging diagnostic modalities such as HPV mRNA assays offer enhanced accuracy. Early detection through screening programs significantly improves treatment outcomes, emphasizing the importance of timely intervention. Management pathways ensure comprehensive care for patients with invasive cervical cancer, with colposcopy playing a crucial role in diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, vaccination against HPV stands as a cornerstone in prevention efforts, although vaccine hesitancy remains a challenge. Homeopathy, as a complementary therapy, offers a holistic approach to addressing vaccine hesitancy and supporting overall immune health. While further research is needed to assess the efficacy of homeopathic remedies, a comprehensive approach combining vaccination initiatives and targeted interventions is essential in the fight against HPV and cervical cancer. By leveraging molecular insights and advancing screening and diagnostic technologies, significant strides can be made in reducing the global burden of cervical cancer
