Cervical Cancer

This book discusses plans, programs, strategies, solutions, research, and revolutions necessary to achieve this goal. Chapters cover such topics as epidemiology, HPV vaccination, screening and treatment, and prevention and control.

This volume is a review of interesting and clinically important advances in the tumor biology and treatment of cervical cancer. The book covers major aspects of scientific progress in the treatment of cervical cancer, focusing on new knowledge due to advances in molecular techniques, understanding of tumor biology, and innovative new treatment options.

This book provides a practical overview of a central topic in cervical cancer concerning human papillomavirus (HPV), prevention, cervical cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment. Since the finding of human papillomavirus (HPV) being the cause of cervical cancer and its precursor symptoms, effective screening based on HPV DNA testing and prevention methods by HPV vaccination are established. Furthermore, new surgical methods, radiation therapy, and drug therapy are developed. To summarize the history and the recent advancement, this book is presented in five attractive parts: pathogenesis and epidemiology, cancer screening and prevention strategies, diagnosis and clinical management of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), surgical treatments, and multimodal therapy. Recent Topics on Prevention, Diagnosis, and Clinical Management of Cervical Cancer is an appealing source for gynecologists, gynecologic surgeons, gynecologic pathologists, and gynecologic, clinical, and radiation oncologists. Also, primary care doctors, public health nurses, nurses, and pharmacists involved in cancer and other medical personnel will find the information and challenges presented tempting.

The last few years have seen enormous progress in terms of our understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of cervical cancer (particularly with respect to the role of human papillomaviruses), and this has opened up new avenues for prevention. Additionally, there have been further refinements of existing technologies for cervical cancer control. To read about the state of the art on cervical cancer, health professionals have to locate individual articles and reviews of specific topics. In recognition of this, we propose to produce a book that will bring together in one place reviews of the contribution of descriptive and analytical epidemiological research to our understanding of cervical cancer etiology, as well as research on the application of that knowledge

Johns Hopkins Patients' Guide to Cervical Cancer is a concise, easy-to-follow “how to” guide that puts you on a path to wellness by explaining cervical cancer treatment from start to finish.
