HPV in the Young Population: New Perspectives in Clinical Practice from Vaccination to Screening

Dear Colleagues,

The introduction of HPV vaccination can prevent the development of HPV-related diseases of the genital tract. Ideally, young people should receive the vaccine before becoming sexually active. Those who are already sexually active may still benefit from immunization, since few young people are infected by all HPV strains. It is important to understand the natural history of HPV infection in order to understand the impact of infection on this population. This understanding can help promote vaccination and adherence to screening programs.

This Special Issue covers all topics related to HPV in clinical practice from vaccination to screening, and focuses on studies examining the significance of vaccines/therapeutic vaccines in the management of disease. Manuscripts of different types, including long comprehensive research articles or reviews, will be considered for publication in this Special Issue. All submissions will undergo rigorous peer review.
