Diagnosis and Prevention of Human Papillomavirus and Diseases by Joe Becker, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

This book consists of updated information regarding the diagnosis and prevention of human papillomavirus and diseases. Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer amongst women globally, and the infection with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) has been determined as the root cause for this condition. The natural history of cervical cancer is identified by slow disease progression, making it a preventable and even curable condition when diagnosed in early stages. Pap smear and the newly introduced prophylactic vaccines are the leading prevention options. However, regardless of the availability of these primary and secondary screening techniques, the worldwide burden of this disease is unfortunately still very high. This book lays emphasis on the clinical and diagnostic conditions of HPV and related disease, featuring the current advancements in this field. | Diagnosis and Prevention of Human Papillomavirus and Diseases by Joe Becker, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
