Abstract
Objective: To identify whether vaccination against HPV is accessible to the target audience and to assess whether methods for early diagnosis apply to the reality of the Brazilian female population. Methods: The research is characterized as an integrative literature review, that was performed using the following databases as search tools: Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) and Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE). The Health Sciences Descriptors used for the search were: "cervical cancer, human Papillomavirus, infection and vaccination". Results: It was observed that cervical cancer is the third most common in the female population and the fourth most common cause of death among women in Brazil. HPV infection occurs mainly in young people after sexual debut and it is estimated that 660 million people worldwide have had contact with the virus.
