I'm not an expert in CRISPR but I don't believe it is being used regularly outside of some very initial studies to human beings. Assuming you could use CRISPR to edit out a bad gene or change to a good gene, then I think yes it would work, but you have second problem.
That second problem is finding those very rare people with the inherited risk of HPV negative cervical cancer before it becomes a problem, which would require us to a point where we have full genetic screening of the entire population as a standard thing (not to mention being sure we know which genes are for sure high risk for HPV negative adenocarcinoma of the cervix, which I don't think we have a clear picture yet).
