Product Description
The development of the first vaccine for the prevention of cancer came 30 years after Harald Zur Hausen first hypothesized that the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) might be associated with cervical cancer. In those 30 years, much progress has been made in the diagnosis, treatment and now prevention of cervical cancer. In a special issue of Disease Markers twelve articles explore the epidemiology of HPV, testing strategies for HPV infections, new HPV detection methods and other potential biomarkers that might prove useful in cervical cancer diagnosis. Further articles address the emerging research on new biomarkers for cervical cancer screening that appear to help to overcome several of the important limitations of the current cancer early detection strategies.

Product Description
This up-to-date and comprehensive set of two CD-ROM discs provides a superb collection of official Federal government documents on cervical cancer: signs and symptoms, diagnosis, lab tests, treatment and management options, and ongoing clinical research. Every aspect of the disease is thoroughly covered. Cervical cancer forms in tissues of the cervix (the organ connecting the uterus and vagina). It is usually a slow-growing cancer that may not have symptoms but can be found with regular Pap tests (a procedure in which cells are scraped from the cervix and looked at under a microscope). Coverage includes treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and vaccine therapy.For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor references and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material. Documents from the National Cancer Institute, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Medline, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) are included. In addition to disease-specific information, there is extensive coverage of the broad subject of cancer and its prevention and treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, advanced treatments, managing side effects). There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust.Since navigating the Internet to find medical information can be confusing, our exclusive "Guide to Leading Medical Websites 2009" has updated links to the 67 best sites! Weblinks let you quickly check for the latest clinical updates directly from the government and the best commercial portals, news sites, reference/textbook/non-commercial portals, and health organizations.Comprehensive cancer coverage includes: FDA Office of Oncology Drug Products, Oncology Tools - approved drugs, patient liaison * Dictionary of Cancer Terms (4000 items) * Division of Cancer Biology * Cancer Bulletin - archive of informative articles from NCI publication since 2004 * Cancers by Body Location, System * A-Z list of cancers * Clinical Trials * Complementary and Alternative Medicine * Coping - Complications and Side Effects - fatigue, pain, cardiopulmonary syndromes, cognitive disorders and delirium; fever, sweats, hot flashes; gastrointestinal complications, hypercalcemia; lymphedema; pruritus; sexuality and reproduction; sleep; nutrition; eating hints; emotions, anxiety, depression, adjustment, post-traumatic stress disorder; substance abuse; transitional care planning; radiation, home care, when cancer returns; Care for the Caregiver; Survivorship - end of life issues, advance directives, coping with advanced cancer, Hospice, Loss, Grief, and Bereavement * Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis * Drug Development and Approval * Approved Oncology Drugs * Drug Dictionary - technical definitions and synonyms * Drug Information Summaries * Factsheets by cancer type, risk factors and possible causes, prevention, detection, diagnosis, therapy, support, coping, resources, tobacco and smoking cessation * Prevention, Genetics * Publications - specific cancers, treatment, trials, coping, testing, risks, nutrition * Screening and Testing * Support - organizations, finances and insurance * Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy, Surgery, Cryosurgery, Laser, Hyperthermia, Targeted * Understanding Cancer - sixty-one publications * CDC Division of Cancer Prevention and Control * SEER Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results * Cancer Health Disparities * Cancer Centers Program. ...

Description:
The social and institutional context of health-care reform in Eastern Europe has important implications for cervical cancer screening and prevention. The incidence and mortality from cervical cancer in Bulgaria and Romania have risen, which is in sharp contrast to the steady decline in most other countries in Europe during the last 2 decades. To analyze these dynamics we conducted a multi-component study of health systems and psychosocial aspects of cervical cancer screening in Bulgaria and Romania. Following the disappearance of organized preventive programs, the initiative for cervical cancer screening has shifted to providers and clients and depends on the way they perceive their responsibility and interpret their own and each other's roles in prevention. We focus on how providers construct women and their role in prevention of cervical cancer through their accounts. The analysis identified several discourses and themes in providers' constructions of women's responsibility for prevention of disease. These include responsible women as 'intelligent' and 'cultured'; non-attenders as 'irresponsible' and 'negligent'; women as needing monitoring and sanctioning; and women as 'victims' of health-care reform. We discuss the implications for health-care reform and health promotion. ... Read more

Product Description
This publication is the product of a comprehensive consultation undertaken by WHO in 2001, involving leading experts in the field of cancer epidemiology, screening and treatment. It is part of WHO’scommitment to provide evidence-based guidelines to decision makers and a recognition of the priority that should be given to cervical cancer screening and treatment as an essential component of anycomprehensive national cancer control programme.

The reportfocuses particularly on the situation in low and middle income countries - countries in which cervical cytology screening may not be feasible or cost effective. It documents the current state of evidence concerning alternative tests - Visual inspection with Acetic acid (VIA) and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) testing. It reviews trials that are currently being undertaken, and gives policy makers an indication of developments that are likely to emerge in the near future. However, it also emphasizes that the efficient and effective functioning of the system in its entirety is central to the success of any screening programme, irrespective of the screening method chosen. ...
