TL;DR: The presence of HPV in virtually all cervical cancers implies the highest worldwide attributable fraction so far reported for a specific cause of any major human cancer, and the rationale for HPV testing in addition to, or even instead of, cervical cytology in routine cervical screening.

Journal ArticleDOI
The causal relation between human papillomavirus and cervical cancer
