Literature data on the main areas of treatment for cervical precancers and cancers are analyzed. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is indicated to be the leading etiological agent in the development of squamous intraepithelial lesions and squamous cervical cell cancer of the cervix. Persistent HPV in the cervical epithelium is largely due to the presence of the virus in the vaginal mucosa. Therefore, it is relevant to develop treatments to achieve viral elimination from the mucous membrane of the genital tract, by taking into account the tropism of HPV to the epithelial cells of this area. The promising organ-sparing highly selective treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia is photodynamic therapy (PDT) that is based on the systemic or local administration of special substances, such as photosensitizers, that are affected by laser radiation after their injection into the body. The interaction of photosensitizer molecules and light quanta is accompanied by the formation of reactive oxygen species that damage cells and trigger a cascade of processes leading to the death of tumor cells. At the same time, the tumor cells absorb the photosensitizer more actively than healthy ones, which is responsible for the selective antitumor effect of laser radiation. The requirements for the ideal photosensitizer are considered. These substances during PDT are administered intravenously or topically as a gel or ointment. Conclusion: The analysis of the literature data has demonstrated the clinical efficiency of PDT in the treatment of patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and HPV carriers without adverse effects on fertility. PDT contributes to the successful treatment of pathological foci on the cervical mucous membrane; the efficiency and safety of the technique are ensured by tissue selectivity of the effect. During the treatment, the surrounding intact tissues are not damaged, there is no gross scarring or stenosis of the cervical canal; thus, PDT makes it possible to preserve the normal anatomical and functional characteristics of the cervix.
