This volume offers a complete description of the current state of biology concerning the papillomavirus. It evaluates the carcinogenic risk to humans posed by infection with human papillomaviruses (HPVs). To date, more than 70 HPV types have been identified, of which over 15 have been reported in cervical cancer biopsies. Worldwide, cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women, approximately 500,000+ new cases are diagnosed each year. This book also considers the possible involvement of HPV infection in cancers at other sites of the human body.

This volume gives special reference to papillomaviruses in benign precursor lesions related to genital tumors, plus it provides a basis for a more reproducible evaluation of the pathology of papillomavirus-induced lesions. It deals with the molecular biology of papillomaviruses as it relates to our understanding of viral cell transformation and malignant conversion. Written in a comprehensive, easy-to-read format, this book covers points of medical interest such as diagnosis, therapy, and prospects for vaccination. This fascinating text provides current, state-of-the-art practices for immediat

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 o
