HIV-1-Positive Women At Increased Risk Of Genital Cancer
A study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that women who are HIV-1 positive are at an increased risk of invasive genital cancer. Authors of the study recommend that gynaecological examination of these women should include examination of the vulva and perianal region to identify genital... view more (2002-01-11)

Risky Surgery Not Always Necessary to Treat Cervical Disease
Revolutionary advancements in the treatment options for diseases associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) now include nonsurgical options such as chemoprevention and vaccines. A review of these methods is published in the latest issue of the International Journal of Gynecological Cancer.   view more (2005-03-23)

HPV vaccine reduces abnormal pap test results
A significant drop in abnormal Pap test results happened after girls and women were given a vaccine to prevent cervical cancer, according to a researcher at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).   view more (2008-03-10)

New study shows potential to treat or prevent viral cancers
A new study, presented at the SNM 55th Annual Meeting, shows that radioimmunotherapy (RIT) targeting viral antigens offers a novel option to treat-or even prevent-many viral cancers by targeting cancer cells expressing viral antigens or infected cells before they convert into malignancy.   view more (2008-06-17)

UNC study firms up promise of potential new cervical cancer screening tool
New research into the causes of cervical cancer appears to lend weight to the promise of a potential early detection method that could help prevent the disease.   view more (2008-05-22)

New technique kills cancer virus without harming healthy cells
Major breakthrough could lead to successful treatment of viral cancers, without side-effects. Yorkshire Cancer Research funded researchers at the University of York have made a major cancer breakthrough. Using a new technique called RNA interference, they have successfully killed human cervical... view more (2002-09-03)

Mothers less likely to pursue HPV vaccination for youngest daughters
Because the first national study of its kind has found that U.S. mothers report they are less likely to vaccinate daughters under age 13 against human papillomavirus virus (HPV), even though the vaccine is recommended for girls at age 11 and 12, it's incumbent upon the healthcare community to work... view more (2008-05-05)

Model highlights benefits and risks of cervical cancer screening methods
In an analysis based on a computer model, it appears that comparing the benefits and risks of different cervical cancer prevention approaches may help women and their physicians choose appropriate screening strategies.   view more (2008-09-22)

Higher anaphylaxis rates after HPV vaccination: CMAJ study
