Abstract: Cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancerrelated morbidity and mortality among women worldwide, with over 600,000 new cases and more than 340,000 deaths in 2020 alone [1]. The Human Papillomavirus (HPV), particularly high-risk strains like HPV-16 and HPV-18, is recognized as the principal etiological agent responsible for cervical carcinogenesis [2]. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended the use of prophylactic HPV vaccines as a primary prevention strategy [3], emphasizing their high efcacy in preventing infection with high-risk HPV types, particularly when administered prior to the onset of sexual activity [4].
