More than 10 years of global experience with prophylactic human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines suggest that the latter are safe and highly effective. There is convincing evidence that in countries where HPV vaccination programs are implemented, the incidence of genital warts and the incidence of cervical precancerous lesions have substantially decreased in the respective populations and in 2018 there was the first evidence for the effectiveness of vaccination against invasive HPV-associated cancers. It is predicted that cervical cancer will become an extremely rare disease over the next few decades and can be completely eradicated by the end of the century in developed countries where a high vaccination and screening coverage remains.
