This special issue includes in-depth review articles on the biology, prevention and public health issues related to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cervical cancer. It also includes a historical account of the impressive multidisciplinary effort made to develop the new vaccination that has the potential to prevent cervical cancer throughout the world. Written by some of the world's most influential scientists and clinicians in these fields, the articles cover - the molecular mechanisms and genetic basis of HPV carcinogenicity - the epidemiology of HPV infection and HPV-associated benign and malignant diseases - laboratory methods for the diagnosis of HPV infection and HPV-associated precancerous lesions - the most recent findings from clinical trials of both prophylactic and therapeutic HPV vaccination - current public health issues such as the cost-effectiveness of prophylactic HPV vaccination and the integration of HPV vaccination into existing cervical cancer screening programs - the ethical question of who to vaccinate. This special issue will be of great interest to anyone working in fields of research, clinical practice or public health related to sexually-transmitted diseases and cancer prevention, particularly those specialized in cervical cancer control.

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 (plus knowledge gained from basic science investigations) to prevention through screening, chemoprevention, and vaccine development. The proposed book will include authoritative reviews by scientists working on the disciplines that are pertinent to the topic of the epidemiology and prevention of cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer is the second most common form of cancer found in women, and it is responsible for more than a quarter of a million deaths worldwide each year. With approximately 70% of cervical cancers now known to be caused by two types of the human pailloma virus (HPV), there is great interest surrounding the approval of the first preventative vaccines for clinical use. Despite this excitement, many questions remain about how the new vaccines should best be implemented and how cervical cnancer screening will change following vaccination. Part of the Oxford Oncology Library series, this practical handbook provides an overview of the role of HPV in the pathology of cervical cancer and its current screening and management, the principles of immune control of HPV infection in cervical cancer, and the challenges of implementing HPV vaccines and future developments.

Although it is preventable and curable, cervical cancer is the fourth most common form of cancer among women worldwide. As such, the World Health Organization adopted a Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative, which aims to eliminate cervical cancer by 2030. 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 book titled "From Pap Smear to HPV Vaccine − the Cervical Cancer Prevention Industry" by Dr. Sin Hang Lee provides a comprehensive analysis of how the HPV industry has invaded and eroded the women's health care system in the field of cervical cancer prevention. The analysis based on currently available science and public records provides the readers interested in cervical cytopathology, HPV molecular diagnostics and HPV vaccination with a clear understanding of issues and solutions to cervical cancer prevention. Pap smear screening in the United States was first implemented as an annual test in the late 1940s. Its widespread use for early detection of precancerous cells destined to proceed to invasive carcinoma for timely ablative treatment markedly reduced the morbidity and mortality rates of cervical cancer. No one should die of cervical cancer if every woman continued receiving proper annual Pap smear screening carried out by a team of cytology technologist, pathologist and gynecologist. However, this teamwork broke down when cytology samples were sent to geographically distant centralized commercial laboratories for screening. Under such business atmosphere, cytology screeners, pathologists and gynecologists hardly speak to one another to discuss any potential diagnostic problems. Overwhelming numbers of unnecessary colposcopic biopsies have been performed on essentially healthy women when "false positive" cytology reports are sent to their gynecologists. However, it is the false-negative results which draw public attention while stories about Pap smear litigation cases are circulated around social media sites when follow-up tests unexpectedly reveal an invasive cancer during the patient's annual screening. Further chaos was created after human papillomavirus (HPV) infections were discovered by Dr. Harald zur Hausen to be one of the most important risk factors for developing cervical cancer. A handful of opportunists successfully persuaded the Food and Drug Administration to regulate their HPV assays as cancer tests and anti-HPV vaccines as cancer vaccines so that they can market these products by tapping into the public's fear of cancer. Commercial HPV tests detect many reversible cytopathology changes with high viral loads per cell, but are not sensitive enough to detect high-grade precancerous cells with low viral loads per cell. Without performing DNA sequencing, none of these test kits can provide an accurate genotyping for follow-up of persistent HPV infections, a true cancer risk. This book points out there is no factual evidence that HPV vaccination has prevented a single case of cervical cancer. Using reversible precancerous histologic changes as surrogate endpoints in clinical trials to support the claim of efficacy of HPV vaccination in prevention of cervical cancer is flawed. Since the HPV vaccine Gardasil relies on using residual HPV L1 gene DNA fragments bound to aluminum salt as the toll-like receptor 9 agonist to boost innate immune response, high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines are generated in the vaccinees. These pro-inflammatory cytokines may cause serious adverse events in genetically and physically predisposed individuals. Women consumers are advised to read this book before choosing the modalities for cervical cancer prevention to protect their own health and lives as well as those of their loved ones.

In 2007, Texas governor Rick Perry issued an executive order requiring that all females entering sixth grade be vaccinated against the human papillomavirus (HPV), igniting national debate that echoed arguments heard across the globe over public policy, sexual health, and the politics of vaccination. Three Shots at Prevention explores the contentious disputes surrounding the controversial vaccine intended to protect against HPV, the most common sexually transmitted infection. When the HPV vaccine first came to the market in 2006, religious conservatives decried the government's approval of the vaccine as implicitly sanctioning teen sex and encouraging promiscuity while advocates applauded its potential to prevent 4,000 cervical cancer deaths in the United States each year. Families worried that laws requiring vaccination reached too far into their private lives. Public health officials wrestled with concerns over whether the drug was too new to be required and whether opposition to it could endanger support for other, widely accepted vaccinations. Many people questioned the aggressive marketing campaigns of the vaccine's creator, Merck & Co. And, since HPV causes cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, and anus, why was the vaccine recommended only for females? What did this reveal about gender and sexual politics in the United States? With hundreds of thousands of HPV-related cancer deaths worldwide, how did similar national debates in Europe and the developing world shape the global possibilities of cancer prevention? This volume provides insight into the deep moral, ethical, and scientific questions that must be addressed when sexual and social politics confront public health initiatives in the United States and around the world.

Recent introduction of HPV vaccines has raised hopes for immunization against cervical cancer and for the first time in the history of humanity for eradication of one malignant disease. This new “opportunity” has changed many current views on cervical cancer prevention, control diagnosis and treatment. Many canons and guidelines became subject of review and many revisions are coming. This book is intended to summarize most of these events and to present them to all women in a language understandable by the eneral public. We expect the book will bring all readers the rationale for optimism and will provide guidance as how to gain knowledge and skills for critical thinking and making an educated decision when it will be necessary in their lives.
