The overall goal of this study is to improve knowledge of the mechanism of HPV carcinogenesis and discover potential biomarkers in the vaginal microbiome predictive or protective of persistent HPV infection through interrogation
of vaginal microbiota in a well phenotyped, homogenous cohort of Asian women.
The vaginal microbiome influences health and disease of the female reproductive tract, and there is emerging evidence of the involvement
of vaginal microbiota in the risk of persistent HPV and subsequent development of cervical cancer.
Furthermore, additional studies are needed to elucidate the causal role
of vaginal microbiota in HPV status and progression to cervical cancer.
