  A virus called Human Papilloma virus(HPV) causes almost all cases of cervical cancer, HPV affect the operation of normal cervical cell, enhancing the rate of cervical cancer
Over 100 types of HPV, 40 of them would infect the reproductive organs. Among them, about nearly half can cause cancer. Type 16 HPV and 18 HPV are the most common of these and repeat exposure to the HPV would lead to pre-cancerous abnormalities that will seriously increase the chances of cervical cancer.

Based on the supporting data, 70% of cervical cancer cases in Asia are induced by types 16 and 18. The vaccines, hence, would at least prevent 70% of the HPV.
Vaccine can cause the generation of protective antibodies level against the infection of HPV and the World Health Organization (WHO) revels that neutralizing antibodies are the most likely mediator for protection against HPV infection.
  3 doses injected with 6 months would lead to the greatest protection.
