Cervical Dysplasia Center
The Johns Hopkins Cervical Dysplasia Center focuses on the management and prevention of cervical HPV disease. If you have had an abnormal Pap smear, obstetricians and gynecologists at our center are available for gynecologic checkups and second opinion visits, as well as evaluation to determine if you are a good candidate for clinical trial participation.
The link between HPV and cervical cancer is bigger than the link between smoking and lung cancer."

Research and Clinical Trials
We are interested in how immune responses occur in the cervix. The focus of our translational research is on developing immune therapies for disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV infection causes more cancers than any other virus in the world.
Cervical cancer is the most common cancer caused by HPV, and although we have known how to screen for it for over half a century, it remains the second most common cause of cancer death in women. Although the preventive vaccines are a public health milestone, they prevent HPV infections, but are not designed to make immune responses to treat HPV.
We are testing different strategies to make immune responses that could treat HPV disease.
Clinical Trials
Vaccine Therapy With or Without Imiquimod in Treating Patients With Grade 3 Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia
Overview: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vaccine therapy and to see how well it works when given with or without imiquimod in treating patients with grade 3 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.
