ADDING HPV TESTING TO CERVICAL SCREENING COULD SAVE LIVES AND SAVE MONEY
Adding a test for a virus known to cause cervical cancer to the conventional cervical smear test improves the detection of cervical abnormalities in women over 34 years old. Research published today1 shows that the use of a test for the human papilloma virus (HPV) in addition to the current Pap smear increases the number of high-grade... view more... (1999-09-09)

How cow warts, clergy sex surveys moved along cancer vaccine
The creation of a successful vaccine against cervical cancer, approved today by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is the culmination of research that occurred thanks not only to scientists and physicians, but also to generous farmers and veterinarians, priests and nuns willing to tell all — and some very patient cows. view more (2006-06-12)
UAB researchers report breakthrough in HPV research
UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham) researchers have developed a new, inexpensive and efficient method for producing and studying a type of human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes cervical cancer. The process could speed understanding of how the virus functions and causes diseases, and lead to new prevention or treatment options. view more (2009-02-24)

HPV test is a better long-term predictor of cervical cell abnormalities than pap smear
The best initial cervical cancer screening tool for younger women is still the traditional Pap smear. However, a large Danish study has found that for older women (age 40 and older), a test for human papillomavirus (HPV) is a much more effective way to screen for potential cancer. view more (2006-11-01)
HPV testing a cost-effective strategy for women with equivocal cervical screening results
A new study has found that using human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA testing to determine who should receive a cervical examination called colposcopy is a cost-effective management strategy for women with equivocal Pap test results known as ASCUS (atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance). view more (2006-01-18)
