Product Description
Use of sensitive molecular biological methods for detecting human papillomavirus (HPV) in epidemiological studies has produced convincing evidence that this virus plays a causal role in cervical cancer. This volume reviews the traditional and molecular epidemiological evidence, and the natural history of HPV infection. The various methods for type-specific detection of HPV are examined, as well as methods for identifying the presence of other sexually transmitted agents that have been postulated at various times as having a role. Applications of the knowledge of the importance of HPV in cervical cancer etiology that are discussed include use of detection of the virus in screening for women at risk of the cancer, and also in determining suitable clinical treatment of women with suspected precancerous lesions. ...

Product Description
Cervix Cancer is the second leading cause of death for women world wide. The rates of breast cancer are quickly rising through out the world. In part these dismal statistics are related to the fact that disease in low resource countries is identified in advanced stages when cure is improbable. Cervix and breast cancer are preventable or at least curable when identified earlier. This can happen when screening programs are in place. This compendium provide references to the international agencies and societies involved in dealing with this problem, research conducted on breast and cervical cancer prevention and control in the low resource countries of the Western hemisphere and educational resources available for cancer control planner through to the public. ...

Product Description
Cervical cancer is a malignancy of the cervix. World-wide, it is the second most common cancer of women. It may be present with vaginal bleeding but symptoms may be absent until the cancer is in advanced stages, which has made cervical cancer the focus of intense screening efforts. Most scientific studies point to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection responsible for 90 percent of the cases of cervical cancer. There are 7 most common types of HPV - 16, 18, 31, 33, 42, 52 and 58. Types 16 and 18 being the most common cause of the cancer. Treatment is with surgery (including local exicision) in early stages and chemotherapy and radiotherapy in advanced stages of the disease. This book presents cutting edge research in this field. This involves, programs for cancer screening, alternative approaches to cervical cancer prevention, HPV/Co-Infections and Host Genetic Profiles, Small Cell Carcinoma of the Uterine Cervix, Indicators of HPV-induced carcinogenesis, functional genomics as a tool for understanding cervical cancer, histone deacetylase inhibitors, Chinese women and cervical cancer and cervical cancer in Northeastern Thailand. ...

Product Description
This is the first comprehensive text on the diagnosis and multimodality management of the entire spectrum of preinvasive and invasive cervical neoplasia. The book provides detailed accounts and illustrations of the cytopathology, histopathology, and colposcopic appearances of cervical neoplasia, presents algorithms for managing patients with abnormal Pap smears, and thoroughly examines current treatment options for preinvasive neoplasia and microinvasive cervical cancer. The extensive coverage of invasive cancer includes complete, current information on radical hysterectomy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and combined modality treatments, as well as on the role of the emerging technique of operative laparoscopy. Full consideration is given to post-treatment surveillance, patterns of recurrence, and management of recurrent cervical cancer. The book also includes timely reviews of the epidemiology and basic biology of cervical neoplasia, the etiologic role of the human papillomavirus (HPV), the latest diagnostic tests for HPV, and the relationship of cervical neoplasia to the human immunodeficiency virus. ...
