Since Harald zur Hausen identified the human papillomavirus (HPV) and, some time later, a multidisciplinary and international group clarified its necessary causal relationship with cervical cancer, the evidence for the oncogenic power of HPV has been growing steadily.

In the first part of the online course HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS, the theoretical basis of HPV infection, prevention and diagnosis was established. In this second part, you will be able to update this theory and finish the knowledge and skills necessary for the management of the pathology through the study of nine case studies.

Module 1. Natural history of Human Papillomavirus infection

Module 2. Primary Prevention: HPV Vaccines

Module 3. Diagnosis of HPV-dependent pathology

Module 4. Management of the presence and lesions caused by HPV

You can download any of the case studies in PDF by clicking on each case
