Human papillomavirus is a prevalent infection, which can infect any mucosa of the body and cause external genital warts or genital warts and cervical cancer. Treatment is difficult with a high recurrence and persistence of the same, which mainly affects young women. The objective of the present study was to compare immunomodulators and cryotherapy for the treatment of genital lesions in women with HPV. A narrative bibliographic review of the scientific literature was carried out, between immunomodulators and cryotherapy for the treatment of genital lesions in women with HPV of the last 20 years, where publications of systematic reviews and meta-analyses were identified. It was concluded that the choice of immunomodulators, like cryotherapy, is better used when there are clinical lesions induced by HPV in the genital and perianal region in women, depending on the number, size, severity, location of the warts and patient preferences.

Keywords : Papillomavirus infections; Immunologic Factors; Cryotherapy.
